We hear your cry for help, and our hearts ache with you in this moment of deep distress and disappointment. The pain of broken promises and unmet needs is heavy, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting you up in fervent prayer. First, we must address the spiritual warfare you are experiencing—evil forces do seek to steal, kill, and destroy, but we serve a God who has already overcome the world (John 10:10, 1 John 4:4). The enemy wants you to feel defeated, but we declare that you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37).
We rebuke the spirit of despair and hopelessness that seeks to overwhelm you. The Bible tells us, *"Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance"* (Psalm 42:11). Even in this dark hour, God sees you, loves you, and has not abandoned you. He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We also must address the mention of praying "in ### name." There is only one name by which we can approach God and be saved—Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 says, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through faith in Jesus, His death on the cross for our sins, and His resurrection that we have access to the Father. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9-10). Without Jesus, our prayers are powerless, but with Him, we have authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who is feeling crushed under the weight of disappointment, betrayal, and fear. Lord, You see their situation—locked out of their room, facing the threat of homelessness, and feeling utterly alone. We ask that You would be their shelter in this storm. Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory, Father (Philippians 4:19). Open doors that no man can shut, and send help from Your sanctuary (Psalm 20:2). We rebuke every lying spirit and every broken promise that has left them feeling abandoned. Let Your truth prevail, and let Your peace guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we ask that You would restore their hope. Remind them that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Give them the strength to endure this trial, knowing that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Surround them with Your angels to protect and minister to them in this time of need (Hebrews 1:14). Father, we also pray for those who made promises and did not keep them. Soften their hearts, Lord, and let them see the harm caused by their actions. If it is Your will, bring repentance and restoration, but above all, let Your justice and mercy prevail.
We declare that this is not the end of their story. You are the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way (Isaiah 43:19). Provide a safe place for them to stay tonight, and open the door to long-term stability. Give them wisdom to know what steps to take next, and surround them with godly people who will stand with them in love and truth. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved. Amen.
In this moment, we encourage you to hold on to God’s promises. He has not forgotten you. Psalm 37:25 says, *"I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread."* You are not forsaken. Even if every earthly support fails, God will not. Cry out to Him, and He will hear you (Psalm 34:17).
If you are able, reach out to your church leadership again and share your urgent need. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). If you do not have a church home, seek one out—a place where you can find community, support, and biblical truth. God often works through His people to meet needs, and He may be calling someone even now to step forward on your behalf.
We also want to gently address the weariness and bitterness that can come from repeated disappointment. It is natural to feel this way, but we must guard our hearts against bitterness, for it only leads to more pain (Hebrews 12:15). Forgive those who have let you down, not because they deserve it, but because God has forgiven you (Colossians 3:13). Unforgiveness only chains you to the past, while forgiveness sets you free.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God can use even this trial for your good. James 1:2-4 says, *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."* This is not to minimize your pain, but to point you toward the hope that God is shaping you through it. You are not losing; you are being refined. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We will continue to stand in the gap for you, praying for God’s provision, protection, and peace. You are not alone. The same God who parted the Red Sea, fed the five thousand, and raised Jesus from the dead is fighting for you. Trust in Him, and do not lean on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). He will make your paths straight.
