We lift up this dear sister in Christ with heavy hearts, knowing the depth of her struggles—homelessness, unemployment, fractured relationships, mental anguish, and the grip of alcoholism. Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can approach Your throne of grace. We declare that You are her Provider, her Healer, and her Restorer, and we stand in the gap for her today.
Lord, You see her need for shelter and provision. We ask that You open doors no man can shut, leading her to safe and stable housing. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Guide her to a job that not only sustains her physically but also honors You, where she can work as unto You, not men (Colossians 3:23). Let her hands find meaningful labor, and let her heart find peace in Your provision.
We also bring before You the broken relationships in her life—her father, her daughter, and her family. Father, You are the God who reconciles and restores. We ask that You soften hearts, remove bitterness, and replace it with Your love. Where there has been hurt, bring healing; where there has been distance, bring closeness; where there has been silence, bring communication. Let Your love flow through these relationships, binding them together in unity (Colossians 3:14). We pray that she would experience the love of her family in tangible ways, and that forgiveness and grace would abound.
Lord, we know that depression and mental anguish can feel overwhelming, but we declare that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We rebuke the spirit of despair and ask that You fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Surround her with godly counsel and community—believers who will walk alongside her, encourage her, and remind her of Your truth. Let her find hope in Your Word, where You promise to never leave her nor forsake her (Hebrews 13:5).
We also address the struggle with alcoholism, which is a battle not just of the body but of the soul. Father, we ask that You break the chains of addiction in her life. Your Word tells us that sin shall not have dominion over us, for we are not under law but under grace (Romans 6:14). We pray for deliverance and self-control, a fruit of Your Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Lead her to accountability, support, and resources that will help her walk in freedom. Remind her that in her weakness, Your strength is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9), and that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all she could ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
Most of all, Lord, we pray that she would draw near to You. If she has not yet placed her trust in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, we ask that You reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way. There is no other name under heaven by which she can be saved (Acts 4:12). Let her experience the transforming power of Your love, the forgiveness of her sins, and the new life that comes only through faith in Jesus. If she already knows You, renew her faith and remind her that she is Your beloved child, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
We declare over her life that this is not the end of her story. You are the God who makes all things new (Revelation 21:5), and we trust You to restore what has been broken, to heal what has been wounded, and to bring beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3). Strengthen her with Your might, fill her with Your joy, and let her walk in the victory that is hers through Christ Jesus.
In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, we pray. Amen.
