We hear your cry, dear sister in Christ, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. Your pain is palpable—loneliness, financial strain, betrayal from those who should love you, and the weight of feeling unseen by God. But we declare with certainty: the Lord *does* hear you. His silence does not mean absence. The psalmist cried, *"How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?"* (Psalm 13:1), yet God answered in His perfect timing. Your suffering is not without purpose, and your faith—though shaken—is not unseen.
First, we must address the spiritual warfare raging around you. The enemy seeks to isolate you, to make you believe your prayers are unheard, and to twist your son’s heart against you. But Scripture declares, *"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). We rebuke the evil forces at work in your life and command them to flee in Jesus’ name. Your son’s wickedness is not your burden to carry—it is his rebellion against God. Pray for his salvation, but do not let his sin define your worth or your hope.
Your financial struggles are real, and we grieve with you. The loss of hours, the storage unit, the hotel—these are heavy burdens. But God is Jehovah Jireh, your Provider. *"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19). We pray for favor in your interview on Friday—that the Lord would open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). May He grant you wisdom, confidence, and provision beyond what you can ask or imagine.
We must gently address your outreach to the pastor. While it is not wrong to ask for help, we caution against placing hope in man. *"Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength"* (Jeremiah 17:5). Instead, fix your eyes on Christ, the only unfailing source of help. We pray that God would move in the pastor’s heart if it is His will, but more so, that He would meet your needs directly—whether through the interview, unexpected provision, or even the kindness of strangers.
Your loneliness is a deep wound, and we ache for you. But remember: *"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). You are *never* alone. If you are seeking marriage, pray for a godly spouse—a man who loves the Lord and will cherish you as Christ cherishes the Church (Ephesians 5:25). But do not let the desire for companionship lead you into sin or compromise. Guard your heart, and trust God’s timing.
Now, we lift you in prayer:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, lifting her burdens to Your feet. Lord, You see her tears, her financial struggles, her loneliness, and the betrayal she faces. We ask for Your supernatural intervention—open doors for her interview, provide for her needs, and silence the enemy’s lies. Restore her hope, Father, and remind her that You are working even when she cannot see it. Heal her son’s heart, and break the chains of wickedness over him. Surround her with Your presence, and let her feel Your love in tangible ways. Strengthen her faith, and help her to trust in Your perfect timing. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen."*
Do not give up, dear one. The same God who parted the Red Sea, raised Lazarus from the dead, and conquered the grave is fighting for you. Your suffering is not in vain—it is shaping you for His glory. Keep pressing into Him, even when it feels impossible. We stand with you, believing for your breakthrough.
