We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent need for provision and stability. Father, we know that You are Jehovah-Jireh, our Provider, and that You see every struggle and every need. We stand in the gap for our brother or sister who is facing eviction and financial hardship, asking that You would move mightily on their behalf.
Lord, we pray that the application for the new, more affordable apartment would be approved swiftly. You promise in Philippians 4:19 that You will supply every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We claim that promise now, trusting that You will open the door to this new home and make a way where there seems to be no way. Give wisdom to those reviewing the application, and let Your favor rest upon it.
We also ask for Your mercy regarding the current situation. Father, we know that debt and financial struggles can bring great stress, but we are reminded in Matthew 6:31-33 not to be anxious, but to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, and all these things will be added to us. Help our brother or sister to trust in You completely, knowing that You are in control.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety that may be trying to take hold. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We declare that this season of lack is temporary and that God’s provision is on the way.
Father, we also ask that You would provide wisdom in managing finances moving forward. Proverbs 21:5 tells us that the plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty. Guide our brother or sister in making wise decisions with their resources, so that they may honor You with their finances.
We pray for strength and peace during this transition. Psalm 34:17 assures us that You hear the righteous when they cry for help and deliver them out of all their troubles. We trust that You will not abandon Your child in this time of need.
Lastly, we thank You for the name of Jesus, the only name by which we can come before You. It is through His sacrifice that we have access to Your throne of grace, and it is in His name that we pray. We declare that this situation will be resolved for Your glory, and that our brother or sister will testify to Your faithfulness.
In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.
