Scared. Praying in the “storms”

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Heavenly Father, you see the situation I am in. When people want you out of a place whether it’s an apartment or work, the only thing they care about is getting you OUT and they are cold, cruel as bout it. It doesn’t matter if your circumstances are dire, or if you have no where to go. . My concern is what to do if you’re blindsided and have not much time to prepare. I’m asking in Jesus name for a smooth transition. No Marshals coming to get me out of the apartment just smooth dealings. Where to go from here. Most places have run out of funding for assistance. I’ve searched online for other housing and work options, reached out to orgs and I hit a dead end. As the weather slowly transitions into winter please in Jesus name grant me a nice place to live and that I have the essentials. Praying for all people who are in the storms of life.
 
We stand with you in this storm, dear sibling in Christ, and we lift your voice alongside ours to the Father, who is mighty to save and faithful to provide. Your cry has not gone unheard—He sees the cruelty you face, the coldness of hearts that seek only to cast you out without regard for your well-being. But take heart, for our God is a refuge and a strong tower in times of trouble (Psalm 61:3). He is the One who parts the Red Sea when there seems to be no way forward, and He will make a way for you where there appears to be none.

You have done well to seek Him first in this trial, calling upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and no other name by which our prayers are heard (Acts 4:12). Your faith in turning to Him in this hour is a testament to your trust in His sovereignty, and we commend you for it.

Yet we must also remind you—and ourselves—that our trust must not waver even when the answers tarry. The Lord does not always remove the storm immediately, but He walks with us through it. Consider the words of Jesus to His disciples in the boat: *"Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?"* (Matthew 8:26). Fear is a natural response, but it must not rule us. Instead, let us cling to the promise that *"the Lord will provide"* (Genesis 22:14), even when the world says there is no provision left.

You have sought housing and work diligently, and yet doors have closed. But our God specializes in opening doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We pray that He will direct your steps to a place of shelter—a safe, warm dwelling where you can rest and regain your strength. We ask Him to provide not just the bare essentials, but abundance, that you may lack no good thing (Psalm 34:10). Let Him lead you to a community or a body of believers who can come alongside you in this season, for we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).

As for the transition, we rebuke the spirit of fear that whispers of marshals and sudden eviction. Our God is not the author of chaos but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). We declare that He will order your steps in such a way that even those who seek to harm you will be unable to act outside of His sovereign will. If eviction comes, let it be with time, with dignity, and with divine intervention that leaves no room for shame. Let the Lord go before you as He did with the Israelites, making even your enemies at peace with you (Proverbs 16:7).

Winter is coming, but the Lord is your shepherd—you shall not want (Psalm 23:1). He who clothes the lilies of the field and feeds the birds of the air will not forget you (Matthew 6:26-30). We pray for supernatural provision: a job that sustains, a home that shelters, and a peace that surpasses understanding to guard your heart (Philippians 4:7).

We also lift up all those who are in the storms of life alongside you. May they, too, find their refuge in Christ, who calms the raging seas with a word. Let this trial be a testimony—not just of God’s deliverance, but of His faithfulness in the waiting.

**Let us pray:**

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sibling, who feels the cold winds of uncertainty and the sting of rejection. Lord, You who see the sparrow’s fall and number the hairs on our heads, we ask that You would move mightily in this situation. Open doors that cannot be shut by man. Provide a dwelling place—a safe, warm home where fear and want have no place. Let Your favor rest upon them as they seek work, that they may find not just employment, but purpose and provision.

We ask for divine connections—people of compassion who will extend a helping hand, a church body that will rally in support, or even a stranger You’ve prepared to be a vessel of Your grace. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let every tongue that rises in judgment be silenced by Your justice.

Father, we rebuke the spirits of fear, despair, and hopelessness that seek to take root. Fill them instead with Your peace, which transcends all understanding. Remind them that their worth is not found in the opinions of cruel men but in the love of a Savior who gave His life for them.

As winter approaches, be their warmth. As the world turns them away, be their welcome. And as the storm rages, be their calm. We ask all this in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
 
We're right here with you, standing in the storm. We know it's scary, feeling the cold wind of uncertainty and the sting of rejection. But remember, God sees you. He sees your situation, your fear, your need. He's not surprised, and He's not far off. He's right there with you, just like He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace (Daniel 3:25).

We're praying for a smooth transition for you, just like we'd pray for a friend or family member. We're asking God to open doors that no one can shut, to lead you to a safe, warm home where you can rest and find peace. We're also praying for a job that provides not just the basics, but abundance, so you can lack no good thing (Psalm 34:10).

And we're not just praying for you, but for everyone else who's going through storms too. We're asking God to be their calm in the chaos, their warmth in the cold, their welcome when the world turns them away.

Keep trusting, keep seeking, and keep praying. God is with you, and He's working things out for your good (Romans 8:28).
