Please Lord Send Me ###

[Jailfouraire]

This has been the worst year I can remember. I graduated with my PhD this summer and no one cared. No celebration ever happened. Once I graduated, it took me over six months to find a job. During those six months, our savings was depleted, my credit card usage skyrocketed to pay the bills and take care of the kids, and now I am having a hard time being able to pay it all back.

During this time, my marriage with my wife has become very rocky. Over the years, she has threatened to harm herself (which costed me a promotion), threatened to get an abortion (because she found out our second child was a boy and not a girl), has demeaned my family (calling my parents and sister “(expletive) low-lifes”), threatened to divorce me for not finding a job and now for finding a job and not liking the commute I have, threatened to leave me and take the kids, has told me that getting my PhD was worthless, that because she is the breadwinner she gets to decide what we do and who we get to see (essentially keeping me away from my family), and continues to be very negative to me on a daily basis. It honestly has shaken me to the core and has made me lose so much confidence in myself as a person.

Facing all of this, I have tried reaching out to pastors and churches and once I make contact with them and speak once, there is no follow-up. I am starving for biblical guidance and I get left by the wayside. This has led me to find comfort in worldly things, which I have a lot of guilt and shame towards.

I ask for prayer that God can bring any person or an angel in my life to let me know things are going to be alright. Right now, my faith is shattered. I have reached out to others, I have prayed and cried out to Jesus and God, and it feels like the hardship keeps getting worse. I am to a point where I can no longer handle all of this and I have become broken mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Please Lord, send me someone that can let me know that You got this and that things are okay.

We hear your cry, and our hearts ache with yours as we come before the throne of grace on your behalf. The weight you carry is heavy—financial strain, a marriage under siege, the loneliness of unmet spiritual longing, and the exhaustion of feeling unseen and unheard. You have pursued excellence in your education, yet the celebration you deserved was withheld. You have sought the Lord in prayer and reached out to His people, only to feel abandoned. The enemy has used this season to isolate you, to whisper lies that you are alone, that your worth is tied to your circumstances, and that God has turned His face from you. But we declare with the authority of Scripture that this is not truth.

First, we must address the foundation of your faith. You have cried out to Jesus and God, and we rejoice that you know the name that is above every name. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). But the enemy seeks to distort even this truth, to make you question whether your prayers are heard. Let us remind you of the promise in Psalm 34:17-18: *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. The Lord is near to you in your brokenness, and He is working even when you cannot see it.

Your marriage is in a place of deep pain, and we must address the sin that has taken root there. The threats of self-harm, abortion, and divorce are not tools to be wielded in a marriage; they are weapons of the enemy designed to destroy the covenant you made before God. Marriage is a sacred union, a reflection of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:31-32), and it is meant to be honored and cherished. The demeaning words, the control, and the emotional manipulation are not the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and they grieve the heart of God. We rebuke these spirits of division, strife, and destruction in the name of Jesus. We pray that your wife would be convicted by the Holy Spirit to repentance, that she would see the harm she has caused, and that she would seek godly counsel to restore her heart to the Lord and to you.

We also must address the areas where you have sought comfort in worldly things. The guilt and shame you feel are not from the Lord; they are tools the enemy uses to keep you bound. 1 John 1:9 tells us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* You are not defined by your failures, but by the blood of Jesus that was shed for you. We encourage you to bring these struggles into the light, to confess them to a trusted brother in Christ, and to walk in the freedom that comes from repentance and renewal.

The financial burden you carry is real, but it is not insurmountable. The Lord knows your needs, and He has promised to provide (Matthew 6:31-33). We rebuke the spirit of lack and fear in this area of your life. We pray that the Lord would open doors of opportunity for you, that He would grant you wisdom in managing your finances, and that He would restore what has been lost. Proverbs 3:9-10 says, *"Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase: so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine."* Trust in His provision, even when the path is unclear.

The isolation you feel is one of the enemy’s greatest tactics, but we declare that you are not alone. We stand with you in this battle, and we pray that the Lord would surround you with godly community. We rebuke the spirit of abandonment that has kept pastors and churches from following up with you. We pray that the Lord would raise up men and women of faith who will walk alongside you, who will speak truth into your life, and who will remind you of God’s promises. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, *"Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."* You were not meant to walk this path alone.

We also pray for your children, who are witnessing the turmoil in your home. We declare that they would be shielded from the conflict, that they would see the love of Christ in you, and that they would grow up knowing the Lord as their Savior. We pray that the Lord would give you wisdom in parenting, that you would lead them with grace and truth, and that they would be a source of joy and strength in your life.

Now, we lift you up in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother who is weary and broken. Lord, You see the depths of his pain, the weight of his burdens, and the exhaustion of his spirit. We ask that You would draw near to him, that You would wrap Your arms around him and remind him that he is not alone. Father, we declare that You are his Provider, his Protector, and his Peace. We rebuke every spirit of despair, isolation, and fear that has taken hold of his life. We pray that You would break the chains of financial strain, restore his marriage, and surround him with godly community.

Lord, we ask that You would heal his heart from the wounds inflicted by his wife. We pray that she would be convicted by Your Spirit, that she would turn from her ways, and that she would seek repentance and restoration. Father, we ask that You would soften her heart, that she would see the value in their marriage covenant, and that she would seek Your will above her own. We declare that their marriage would be a testimony of Your grace and redemption.

We pray for his children, Lord. Shield them from the conflict, and let them see Your love reflected in their father. Give him wisdom and strength to lead them well, and let them grow up knowing You as their Savior.

Father, we ask that You would open doors of opportunity for him, that You would provide for his financial needs, and that You would restore what has been lost. We pray that You would give him clarity in his career, that he would find fulfillment in his work, and that he would use his education for Your glory.

Lord, we ask that You would raise up men and women of faith to walk alongside him. Let him no longer feel abandoned by Your people. Bring him into a community where he is loved, supported, and encouraged. Let him find solace in Your Word, and let his faith be strengthened as he sees Your hand at work in his life.

Finally, Father, we ask that You would restore his hope. Let him know that You are in control, that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28), and that his story is not over. Let him feel Your presence in tangible ways, and let him hear Your voice speaking peace over his life. We declare that this season of hardship will not define him, but that it will refine him, draw him closer to You, and prepare him for the purpose You have for his life.

We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name that is above every name, the name by which we are saved, and the name by which we have access to You. Amen.

Dear friend,

We're here for you, standing with you in your struggles. We hear your cry and we want you to know that you're not alone. The Lord sees you, and He's working even when you can't see it.

First, let's cling to the truth that God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He hasn't abandoned you. He's right there with you, even in the darkest moments. Trust in His love and care for you.

Your marriage is in a tough place, but remember, God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). The enemy wants to destroy your marriage, but God wants to restore it. We pray for healing and unity in your marriage. We ask God to soften both of your hearts, to help you see the value in your covenant, and to seek His will above your own.

We also want to encourage you to find comfort in the Lord, not in worldly things. When you feel guilty or ashamed, remember that God forgives and cleanses you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). You're not defined by your failures; you're defined by the blood of Jesus.

Financially, we trust that God will provide for your needs (Matthew 6:31-33). We pray for open doors of opportunity, wisdom in managing your finances, and restoration of what's been lost.

Lastly, we pray for godly community to surround you. We rebuke the spirit of isolation and abandonment. We ask God to raise up men and women of faith to walk alongside you, to love and encourage you.

We're praying for you, dear friend. We believe that God will turn your situation around for your good and His glory. Trust in Him, and keep seeking His face. You're not alone.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
