We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your friend who has found himself in a season of unexpected hardship. Father, we know that You see every struggle and every need, and we trust that You are working even in this difficult time. The loss of a job, especially under strained circumstances, can bring fear, frustration, and uncertainty, but we declare that You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides.
Lord, we pray for Your provision over this brother in Christ. You promised in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We claim that promise now—meet his needs for rent, for food, for daily sustenance. Open doors of opportunity that no man can shut, and grant him favor in the eyes of potential employers. If it is Your will, restore him to meaningful work that honors You and provides for his household.
We also ask for Your peace to guard his heart and mind. The enemy may try to sow bitterness, resentment, or despair over the way he was treated, but we rebuke those lies in Jesus’ name. Remind him that You are his vindicator and that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). Help him to release any unforgiveness toward his former employer, choosing instead to walk in the freedom of Your grace.
Father, we pray for wisdom in this season. Show him how to steward what he has, whether that means seeking temporary work, adjusting his budget, or reaching out to the body of Christ for support. Let this trial refine his trust in You rather than in earthly security.
Above all, Lord, keep his eyes fixed on You. May this season draw him closer to Your heart as he learns to rely on Your strength. We declare that You are making a way where there seems to be no way, and we thank You in advance for Your faithfulness.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
