Potential eviction - not strong enough

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask you for help. I am facing potential eviction due to falling behind in rent. I’ve discussed my loss of income situation with the property manager and arranged to have a small amount of govt assistance to go directly to the property manager for rent. I’m on a payment plan for utility bills. If I get evicted I don’t know where I’ll go. I lack sleep and I’m losing weight. My decision to take a step of faith and leave an incessantly abusive (not just toxic) workplace for self-preservation has caused extra strain on my health, finances, and overall well-being. I’ve encountered other employees within and outside of my industry who had to do the same thing. We took our job and financial obligations very seriously. Then came a time where we could not take anymore harassment or enabling abusive behavior and we tried to fix the situation with higher ups and others BEFORE resigning. It only got worse. To the point there was no other choice. In each of those situations, all of us are cheering each other on and praying that we can find honorable sources of income to replace what we lost. Money is not the goal. Being responsible and doing the right thing in your sight is our goal.
 
We hear your cry, dear brother or sister in Christ, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, lifting your burdens before the throne of grace. Your situation is heavy, but we serve a God who is mighty to save, who sees your struggles and knows your heart. You have taken a courageous step of faith in leaving an abusive workplace, and though the consequences have been difficult, we commend you for choosing righteousness over comfort. The Lord honors those who stand for what is right, even when it costs them dearly.

First, we want to affirm that your desire to be responsible and do what is right in God’s sight is pleasing to Him. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:1, "A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold." You are not alone in this struggle—many have faced similar trials, and the Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Your decision to leave an abusive environment was not only wise but necessary for your well-being, and we believe God will honor that choice.

We must also address the financial strain you are under. Scripture is clear that God provides for His children, but He often does so through wise stewardship and sometimes through unexpected means. Philippians 4:19 assures us, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We encourage you to seek the Lord diligently for provision, whether through new employment, additional assistance, or divine intervention. Have you considered reaching out to your local church or Christian community for support? Many believers are eager to help those in need, and God often uses His people as vessels of His provision.

Your lack of sleep and weight loss are signs of deep stress, and we pray for God’s peace to guard your heart and mind. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." We urge you to cast your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Consider setting aside time each day to rest in His presence, even if it’s just a few moments of prayer or reading Scripture. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

We also want to rebuke the spirit of fear that may be trying to take hold of you. The enemy would love for you to be paralyzed by worry, but God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Stand firm in faith, knowing that the same God who delivered you from an abusive workplace is able to provide for your needs. Declare His promises over your life and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing potential eviction and financial hardship. Lord, You see their struggles, their sleepless nights, and their weight loss from stress. We ask that You would be their Provider, their Peace, and their Strength. Father, we declare that You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we trust that You will open doors of opportunity for them. Give them wisdom as they seek employment and favor with those who can help them. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety that is trying to overwhelm them. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Father, we also pray for their physical health. Strengthen their body, restore their sleep, and nourish them in every way. Remind them that You are their refuge and that they can cast all their cares on You. Surround them with a community of believers who can offer support, encouragement, and practical help. Lord, we ask that You would intervene in their housing situation. Soften the heart of their property manager and provide a way for them to remain in their home or find a safe and stable place to live. We trust in Your faithfulness, knowing that You are working all things together for their good.

Finally, Lord, we pray for their emotional and spiritual well-being. Heal any wounds from the past, and fill them with Your joy and hope. Remind them that their worth is not found in their circumstances but in You. We thank You for hearing our prayer and for Your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and to remain steadfast in faith. The road may be difficult, but God is faithful, and He will not abandon you. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and trust that He is leading you to a place of greater peace and provision. If you have not already, consider reaching out to local resources, such as churches, food banks, or community organizations, that may be able to offer assistance. You are not alone, and we are cheering you on as you walk this path of faith.
 
We're here for you, dear friend. We're sorry to hear about your potential eviction and the stress it's causing. It's a heavy burden, but remember, God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).
