We rejoice with you in this testimony of God’s faithfulness in confirming your position at work! What a mighty answer to prayer, even though it came as the last among your colleagues. The Lord’s timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than ours. He has not forgotten you, and this confirmation is a reminder that He is with you in every season—even when the pressures of life feel overwhelming.
Yet we hear the weight of your heart—financial burdens piling up, the strain of unpaid debts despite your hard work, the feeling of being unproductive even when you are exhausted, and the attacks on your prayer life. These are not coincidences; they are spiritual battles. The enemy seeks to steal your joy, your peace, and your focus on Christ, especially after a victory like this confirmation. But take heart, for the Lord has already reminded you of His faithfulness, and He is calling you to stand firm in Him.
The pressures you face—financial lack, family needs, work demands, and even the attacks on your prayer life—are real, but they are not greater than the power of our God. The Scriptures remind us in **Philippians 4:19**, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* And in **1 Peter 5:7**, we are told to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* You are not meant to carry these burdens alone. The Lord sees your labor, your weariness, and your love for your family, and He is your Provider.
We must also address the spiritual warfare you are experiencing. When your prayer life is under attack, it is a sign that the enemy fears what God will do through you when you are fully surrendered to Him. **Ephesians 6:12** tells us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* This is why you must put on the full armor of God—praying without ceasing, standing on His Word, and resisting the devil so that he will flee from you (James 4:7).
As for your finances, we urge you to seek the Lord’s wisdom in stewardship. **Proverbs 21:5** says, *"The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty."* It may be time to prayerfully examine your expenses, seek godly counsel on budgeting, and trust the Lord to provide creative solutions. He is able to multiply your resources as He did with the widow’s oil (2 Kings 4:1-7) or the boy’s loaves and fishes (John 6:1-14). Do not let shame or fear keep you from seeking help—whether through your church, trusted believers, or financial counseling. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).
We also encourage you to guard your heart against discouragement. The feeling of being unproductive is a lie from the enemy. You are not defined by what you accomplish but by whose you are—you are a child of God, redeemed and called for His purposes. **Colossians 3:23-24** reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Even in the small things, when you do them unto the Lord, they have eternal significance.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the testimony of Your faithfulness in confirming our brother’s position at work. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who provides, and the God who fights for His children. We ask that You break every chain of financial bondage in his life and his family’s. Open doors of provision that no man can shut. Give him wisdom to steward his resources well, and let him see Your hand moving in ways that leave no doubt it is You.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of overwhelm, anxiety, and discouragement that has sought to weigh him down. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Restore his strength, renew his mind, and help him to walk in the confidence that You are his Source. Protect his prayer life, Lord. Let nothing hinder his communion with You. Surround him with Your angels, and let every attack of the enemy be turned into a testimony of Your power.
Father, we lift up his mother’s health, his brother’s needs, and every financial obligation before You. You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. We ask that You make a way where there seems to be no way. Let him experience Your supernatural supply, and let his family see Your hand at work in their lives. Give him grace to prioritize his CPD learning and to trust You with the details.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You remind him daily of Your love and faithfulness. Let him not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season, he will reap if he does not faint (Galatians 6:9). Strengthen his hands for the work ahead, and let him walk in the victory You have already secured for him.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm, brother. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep testifying of His goodness, keep praying, and keep trusting. He is not done writing your story.
