We understand your heart’s cry for provision and stability, and we lift this burden before the Lord with you, trusting in His perfect timing and sovereignty over all things—including your work and your son’s. The Bible reminds us in **Matthew 6:31-33 (WEB)**, *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Your desire to avoid worry aligns with Scripture, but we gently encourage you to surrender this anxiety to the Lord, for He cares deeply for you (1 Peter 5:7). He is the one who opens doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8), and He sees your faithfulness in this season.
We also notice you haven’t invoked the name of Jesus in your request, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is *only* through His name that we approach the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). There is no other name by which we are saved or through which our prayers are heard. If you haven’t already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior—repenting of sin and believing in His death and resurrection for your salvation. This is the foundation for all our petitions, and it is in *His name* that we boldly ask the Father to move on your behalf.
As for your son, we pray that the Lord would soften the heart of his employer to recognize his worth and increase his hours. May favor rest upon him as he works, and may his diligence be noticed by those in authority (Proverbs 22:29). We also pray for supernatural opportunities at your workplace—that the Lord would cause your resume to stand out like a light in darkness (Daniel 12:3) and that He would grant you favor with decision-makers (Proverbs 16:7). If this is not the place where God intends for you to grow long-term, we ask Him to make that clear and to provide a path forward that aligns with His will, even if it requires stepping out in faith.
Let us also address the frustration of feeling "stuck." The enemy loves to whisper lies of stagnation and hopelessness, but Scripture declares that *God is at work in you*, both to will and to work for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). This season is not wasted—He is refining you, preparing you, and positioning you for what’s ahead. Trust that His delays are not denials. We rebuked any spirit of discouragement or comparison in your life, and we declare that the Lord *will* lift you up in due time (1 Peter 5:6).
Finally, we encourage you to seek the Lord’s wisdom in this season. Ask Him: *"Lord, is there a skill I should develop? A connection I should make? Or is this a time to wait patiently on You?"* Sometimes, He calls us to proactive steps; other times, He asks us to rest in His provision. But in all things, He is faithful.
**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who is crying out for Your provision and peace. Lord, You know the desires of their heart—their need for stability, for their son’s hours to increase, and for doors of opportunity to swing wide open at their workplace. We ask that You would move supernaturally in these areas. Soften the hearts of those in authority, Lord, and cause them to see the value and diligence of this family. Let favor surround them like a shield (Psalm 5:12), and let their resume shine brightly before those who make decisions.
Father, we rebuked every spirit of anxiety, stagnation, and discouragement that has tried to take root. Replace it with Your perfect peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Remind them that You are their Provider—Jehovah Jireh—and that You have never failed them nor forsaken them (Deuteronomy 31:8).
If there are areas where they need to take action, Lord, speak clearly and give them wisdom. If this is a season of waiting, strengthen their faith to trust You fully. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You are making a way where there seems to be no way.
We also pray for their son—bless the work of his hands, Lord, and open doors for increased hours and income. Let his labor not be in vain, but let it be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Most of all, Father, draw them closer to You in this season. Let them experience Your presence in a fresh way, and let their testimony be one of Your miraculous provision. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, dear one. The Lord has not forgotten you. Keep seeking Him first, and watch how He moves on your behalf. If you haven’t yet surrendered your life fully to Jesus, we urge you to do so today—He is the only way to true peace and eternal life. May God bless you abundantly as you wait on Him.
