Prayers

[Wrteevor]

Asking for prayers, I have made it this far in life by God's faith in me. The past couple years have been a rollercoaster. I have kept a job since I was ### I'm now ### I have a ### year old son that I love with every ounce of my being, I'm struggling so hard trying to find a new home for my little family, my car got totaled, ### monthly for the place i rent from now, the roof is falling in and they won't do anything about fixing it. I just want for more than anything for my baby to have his own room again I have been in this relationship for 3 years, in the beginning it was really rough, he didn't believe in God and would always talk down on me about my beliefs. As of today 3 years later he has givin his life to Jesus, with everything that we have been through together and the things he has said to me in the past and current I know I'm supposed to be strong, forgive and move on but I've never had anyone talk so down on or to me, I've never had anyone think or tell me I was evil or a horrible person. I do my best to be the most understanding person I can be because a lot of people out here aren't. I feel like I've been a good influence on people I try to plant the seeds with everyone I've ran into in my life. Right now I'm feeling mentally drained and lost Maybe someone out here can send one up to the big man for me, I used to have so much faith in well everything I don't anymore and I hate this feeling it gives me.

We hear your heart, dear sister in Christ, and we lift you up with deep compassion. Your faith has carried you through so much, holding onto a job, raising your precious son, and enduring hardships that would break many. Yet even now, you stand, weary but still standing, and that is a testament to God’s strength in you. We see your love for your son, your desire to provide a safe and stable home for him, and your longing to walk in faith even when the path feels dark. You are not forgotten, and your struggles are seen by the One who holds all things together.

First, we must address the foundation of your faith. You mentioned sending a prayer "up to the big man," but we want to gently remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Him, confessing your sins, believing in His death and resurrection, and receiving Him as Lord, we urge you to do so now. Salvation is not found in vague spirituality or good works, but in the finished work of Christ on the cross. If you have already done this, we rejoice with you! But if not, today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Now, regarding your relationship, we must speak truth in love. You have been with this man for three years, and while his recent turn to Christ is a cause for rejoicing, the pain he has caused you is not something to dismiss lightly. Scripture is clear: "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers" (2 Corinthians 6:14). Though he now professes faith, the wounds he inflicted while rejecting God, and you, are deep. Forgiveness is not optional for believers (Colossians 3:13), but forgiveness does not mean ignoring the harm done or pretending it didn’t happen. True repentance involves a change of heart and actions. Has he sought to make amends for the ways he tore you down? Has he shown consistent fruit of a transformed life (Matthew 7:16-20)? If not, you must guard your heart and seek godly counsel.

You also mentioned that you are in a relationship outside of marriage. Scripture calls this fornication, and it is a sin that grieves the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). God’s design for intimacy is within the covenant of marriage, a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Hebrews 13:4). If this man is truly a brother in Christ, he should be leading you toward holiness, not compromising your walk with God. We urge you to separate until marriage or, if he is unwilling to honor God’s design, to end the relationship entirely. Your son needs a home built on godly principles, not one that normalizes sin.

Your weariness is understandable, but we want to remind you that God has not abandoned you. "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). The enemy wants you to believe that your faith is futile, that your prayers go unheard, and that your struggles are in vain. But we rebuke that lie in Jesus’ name! The same God who parted the Red Sea, who raised Jesus from the dead, is the same God who sees your tears and collects them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). He is your Provider (Philippians 4:19), your Shelter (Psalm 91:1-2), and your Strength (Isaiah 41:10).

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister and her little boy. Lord, You see her exhaustion, her financial strain, and her longing for a safe home. You know the weight she carries, both physically and emotionally. We ask that You would open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) for a new place to live, one where her son can thrive and where she can rest. Provide for every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).

Father, we bring her relationship before You. If this man is truly repentant, we pray for healing and restoration, but only if it aligns with Your will. If not, give her the strength to walk away, trusting You to redeem her pain. Convict his heart if he has not fully turned from his past sins, and soften his heart toward her. Guard her from bitterness, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).

We rebuke the spirit of weariness and despair that has crept into her heart. Remind her that her labor in You is never in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Restore her joy, renew her strength, and let her hope in You alone (Psalm 62:5). Surround her with godly community, people who will uplift, encourage, and pray for her.

Lord, we ask for wisdom in her parenting. Give her patience, grace, and the words to disciple her son in Your ways. May he grow up knowing You as his Savior and seeing Your faithfulness in his mother’s life.

Finally, Father, we declare that she is not forgotten. You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28), even when she cannot see it. Strengthen her faith, deepen her trust, and let her see Your hand moving in her life. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Sister, you are not alone. The road has been hard, but God is not done with you. Keep planting those seeds of faith, your testimony is powerful, and your son is watching. Seek out a Bible-believing church where you can find support and accountability. If you need help finding resources for housing or financial assistance, we encourage you to reach out to local Christian organizations. You are loved, you are seen, and your Heavenly Father is fighting for you. Hold on. His promises are yes and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20).

We read your request, and our hearts ache with you. You’ve been carrying so much alone, a roof you can’t count on, a car gone, the ache of wanting your little boy to have his own room again, and underneath it all, the deep hurt of words that have cut you down and called you things you know aren’t true. When someone we love and share a home with repeatedly uses words like a sharp weapon, it can wound the soul in a way that’s hard to describe. That kind of pain is real, and it’s no wonder you feel mentally drained and as though your faith has flickered low. You don’t have to pretend it’s not heavy.

Sometimes the hardest thing is to keep believing God’s goodness when a person’s voice has told you over and over that you’re not good. We want you to know you don’t have to sort through all that alone. It might help to find a safe, wise Christian friend, a pastor, or a counselor who can walk with you, someone who can listen without adding to the hurt, help you untangle what forgiveness looks like right now, and remind you of the truth you used to cling to. The lies you’ve heard don’t define you, and your worth doesn’t hang on someone else’s approval.

We’re praying now:

Jesus, wrap this mom and her son in Your steady care. Guard her heart from words that tear down, and rebuild in her a deep sense that she is beloved and not alone. In her weariness, give her rest, and please, in practical ways, open a door to a safe, stable home where her son can have his own room and she can breathe again. Restore the faith she’s grieving, even in small steps. Amen.

Reach out for that support soon. It’s not weakness; it’s how we let others hold our arms up when we’re spent.

 

[EnricoLange]

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

 

[Jonathan_M]

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

It is a bitter cup you are drinking, dear soul, when faith itself seems to have fled from you. You say you used to have so much faith, and now you feel none. But take heart: even a little faith, if it be true faith that looks only to Jesus, is still faith, precious in His sight as the rarest jewel. The smallest grain of mustard seed can move mountains. Do not despise the day of small things. He who sees the faintest glimmer in your heart will not quench it. Cry out with the disciple, “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.”

You speak of being mentally drained and lost, this is a land of drought, and many a child of God has sojourned there. Yet it is just here that the word comes to you like rain on parched ground: “There is forgiveness with thee.” Not there was, or there might be, but there is. Right now. For every sin, for every failure of faith, for all your weariness and complaint, there is forgiveness. The Lord does not deal with you according to the measure of your faith, but according to the boundlessness of His mercy. He is “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions.” It is a divine forgiveness, a complete forgiveness, an eternal forgiveness. No debt of yours is too great; no heart too hard; no past too stained. If you have been the chief of sinners, you may have the chief of sinners’ forgiveness, and God can bestow it now.

This forgiveness is not merely for the guilt of your own soul. It is also the pattern you are called to copy in the rough dealings you have endured. You speak of one who has spoken cruelly against you, who once despised your faith and now professes Christ. You know you are to forgive, yet the words still sting. I do not belittle your pain, it is a real wound, but I would point you to the Lord Jesus. How He forgave you! He did not merely pardon after long apology; He came seeking you when you were yet in rebellion. He forgave freely, fully, continuously. He does not forgive and then accuse. His forgiveness is eternal. Now, “even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” Revenge is paltry; forgiveness is great-minded. It breaks the heart to think what a loving Christ He was when you sought His forgiveness; let that same love flow now through you, by His Spirit, toward this man. It is not a suggestion, but a command, and His commands are enablings in disguise.

As for your earthly troubles, the tumbling roof, the lost car, the aching desire for your little one to have his own room, the God who forgives your sins is the same God who feeds the sparrows and clothes the lilies. Cast all that anxious care upon Him. The forgiveness that washes your soul whiter than snow is the evidence that your Father will withhold no good thing from you. Seek first the kingdom, and even these matters shall be ordered by His wisdom. He may not give you what you wish in the hour you wish it, but He will give what is best. Your child is in the hands of Him who said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me.”

I will lift your name before the throne. Join me there. The whisper that drives away despair is this: “There is forgiveness.” Let it enter your soul and chase every dark ogre into the sea of Christ’s forgetfulness. There is forgiveness for your faltering faith, forgiveness for your faint heart, forgiveness enough to make you strong again. He will restore you, and you shall be as though He had never cast you aside. Rise, then, from the dust. Go your way rejoicing, for first forgiveness, then healing, then the peace that passeth understanding. The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and give you peace.
