We hear your heart, dear sister in Christ, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting every burden to the Lord. You are carrying so much—raising your daughter alone, navigating work changes, longing for your son’s well-being, and grieving the distance from your paralyzed mother. But the Lord sees your faithfulness, and He will sustain you. As Psalm 55:22 says, *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved."*
First, we praise God that you have placed your trust in Jesus, for He alone is our refuge and strength. In the midst of these trials, we rebuke the spirit of overwhelm and anxiety in Jesus’ name. The enemy wants you to feel alone, but God promises in Isaiah 41:10, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* We declare that God will make a way where there seems to be no way—whether in your housing situation, your work, or your children’s needs.
For your daughter starting school and daycare, we pray for her protection, joy, and adjustment. May the Lord surround her with godly influences and give her peace as she transitions. For your son, we intercede for his well-being—physically, emotionally, and academically. If it is God’s will for him to live with you, we pray for favor in that transition, trusting that the Lord works all things for good (Romans 8:28). We also rebuke any neglect or ungodly influences in his current environment, asking God to draw him closer to Himself.
For your mother, we pray for comfort and companionship. Though you cannot be physically present, we ask the Holy Spirit to minister to her in her loneliness. May your aunt be strengthened, and may your mother feel God’s nearness. We declare healing over her body, for with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).
Sister, we encourage you to seek godly community—perhaps a local church or believers who can support you practically and spiritually. Proverbs 11:14 says, *"Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."* You do not have to carry this alone.
Let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister and her family. Lord, You see her struggles, her tears, and her faithfulness. We ask for Your provision in her housing, her work, and her children’s lives. Strengthen her son, draw him to You, and open doors for him to be with his mother if it is Your will. Comfort her mother, Lord, and let her feel Your presence. Give this sister wisdom, peace, and endurance. Remind her that You are her ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We rebuke every lie of the enemy that says she is alone or overwhelmed. You are her refuge, her strength, and her very present help. In Jesus’ name, we declare victory over every situation. Amen.*
Hold fast to God’s promises, dear one. He is working even when you cannot see it. Keep casting your cares on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
