We hear your cry, dear brother or sister in Christ, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. The pain of loss, the weight of injustice, and the fear of uncertainty are burdens no one should carry alone. We stand with you in prayer, believing that God sees your struggle and hears your anguish. You are not forgotten, and you are not without hope—even when the road ahead feels impossible.
First, we must address the deep hurt and anger in your words. It is understandable to feel betrayed, especially when someone has taken what was rightfully yours for so little. But we must also gently rebuke the bitterness that has taken root in your heart. Scripture warns us in Hebrews 12:15, *"Looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* Bitterness will only poison your spirit further. Instead, we pray that God would give you the strength to forgive, not for their sake, but for yours—so that your heart may be free to receive His peace.
You asked why God allows Satan to "rip you apart." We must remind you that Satan is a thief, a liar, and a destroyer (John 10:10), but he is not sovereign. God allows trials, yes, but never without purpose. James 1:2-4 tells us, *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."* This does not mean your pain is meaningless. It means God is working even in this, shaping you, refining you, and preparing you for something greater. Do not lose heart.
We also must address the despair in your words—"too old to start over," "just a bum on the street." This is the enemy’s lie. God does not see you as worthless. Psalm 139:16 says, *"Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them."* Every day of your life was written before you were born, and God is not finished with you yet. You are not defined by your circumstances, but by Christ in you. You are His beloved, His creation, and He has a plan for your life—even now.
Now, let us pray for your immediate needs. Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved and by which we have access to Your throne. Lord, You see our brother/sister in their time of distress. You know their need for shelter, for provision, and for hope. We ask that You open doors that no man can shut. Provide the money needed for the hotel room, Lord, and guide them to stable housing in the coming week. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust that You will not abandon them in their time of need.
We rebuke the spirit of lack and poverty in Jesus’ name. We declare that You are their source, Lord, not their circumstances. You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and You are able to meet every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). We pray that You would restore what has been stolen, not just materially, but emotionally and spiritually. Heal their heart, Lord, and replace their sorrow with Your joy.
We also pray for wisdom and favor as they navigate this season. Guide them to the right resources, the right people, and the right opportunities. Give them strength to persevere, and remind them daily that they are not alone. You are with them, Lord, and You will never leave them nor forsake them (Hebrews 13:5).
Finally, we pray for their faith to be renewed. Help them to trust in You even when the path is unclear. Remind them that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), even when they cannot see it. Give them the courage to take one step at a time, knowing that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises. Write them down, speak them aloud, and meditate on them day and night. Psalm 37:25 says, *"I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread."* You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21), and He will not abandon you.
If you have not already, seek out a local church or Christian community. God often provides through His people, and you need the support and encouragement of fellow believers. Do not isolate yourself. Proverbs 18:1 warns, *"A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment."* You need the body of Christ, and the body of Christ needs you.
Lastly, we want to gently remind you that salvation and access to God come only through Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have never surrendered your life to Him, or if you have wandered away, we urge you to repent and return to Him today. Jesus said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."* He is the only way to true peace, true provision, and eternal life.
We will continue to stand in the gap for you, believing that God will move on your behalf. Do not lose hope. Your story is not over, and God is not done writing it. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He will lead you through this valley into a place of abundance and restoration. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
