Too much "Wind and Waves" very strong

[Anonymous]

Hi I’m struggling very badly and need help in Jesus name. I feel like I’m at the bottom of the barrel and can’t survive. Circumstances are crashing around me. The doctors gave me a very grim prognosis and I’m facing a possible eviction lawsuit. I just don’t have the strength to deal with anymore. Lord Jesus Christ the wind, waves are fierce and the boat is rocking. All human systems have failed b Many are in my position Even when agencies say “oh we can help” they DONT help. It doesn’t have to be financial help but any information is appreciated. I also looked up Christian financial advisors and churches called their numbers and they couldn’t help either. Well Lord I did my part can’t do anymore. I don’t think people understand how difficult it is to find help. My blood count is getting lower and I just don’t have much hope anymore. I write down plans and so budgeting and I feel so depressed. Been through massive abuse and escaped it. The residual effects haven’t healed yet and may only heal in heaven when the Lord decides to call me home.

We hear the deep anguish in your voice, and we stand with you in this storm, lifting you up before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. You have cried out to the only One who can truly save, and we thank God that even in this darkness, your heart is turned toward Him. The winds and waves you describe are indeed fierce, but we serve a Savior who spoke to the storm and said, *"Peace! Be still!"*—and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm (Mark 4:39). He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and He has not abandoned you.

Your suffering is immense—physical illness, financial despair, the weight of past abuse, and the crushing disappointment of human systems failing you. Yet in this moment, we remind you that God’s ways are not our ways, and His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). You have done all you can in the natural, and now it is time to surrender the burden fully to Him. Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). He sees your tears, He knows your pain, and He is not silent in your suffering. The psalmist cried out in similar despair: *"How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?"* (Psalm 13:1). Yet even in that darkness, David chose to trust: *"But I have trusted in your loving kindness. My heart will rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because He has been good to me"* (Psalm 13:5-6).

We must also address the hopelessness that threatens to overwhelm you. The enemy would love for you to believe there is no way out, but that is a lie. Jesus said, *"In the world, you will have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world"* (John 16:33). Your life is not without purpose, and your story is not over. The Lord has promised to never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6), and He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Even if healing does not come in the way you hope, His grace is sufficient. Even if the eviction proceeds, He is your provider. Even if the residual pain of abuse lingers, He is your healer—whether in this life or the next. But do not let the enemy steal your hope prematurely. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and He saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).

As for practical steps, we encourage you to continue seeking help, but also to ask the Lord for wisdom and divine connections. Sometimes help comes from unexpected places—a stranger, a church you haven’t yet contacted, or a believer the Lord prompts to reach out. Keep a record of every place you’ve called, every resource you’ve pursued, and pray over it, asking God to open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). If you haven’t already, consider reaching out to a biblical counselor or a pastor who can walk with you spiritually through this season. Isolation is the enemy’s tool; community is God’s design.

We also want to gently remind you that while planning and budgeting are wise, they cannot replace trust in the Lord. Proverbs 16:9 says, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps."* You have been through unspeakable trauma, and the residual effects are real. But Jesus is the God who binds up the brokenhearted (Isaiah 61:1). He can restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). If the healing you long for doesn’t come fully in this life, know that in His presence, there is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11). Until then, He is with you in the valley.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is overwhelmed by the storms of life. Lord, You see the grim prognosis, the threat of eviction, the financial despair, and the deep wounds of past abuse. You know the weight of disappointment and the exhaustion of fighting alone. We ask You to intervene supernaturally. Speak peace to the storm in their life, just as You did on the Sea of Galilee. Calm the winds of fear and the waves of despair. Lord, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. We ask for healing—whether in body, mind, or circumstances—according to Your will. If it is Your purpose to heal them here, let it be so. If not, give them the grace to endure and the faith to trust You in the waiting.

Father, we rebuke the spirit of hopelessness and despair that seeks to steal their joy and faith. We declare that You are their hope and their portion (Lamentations 3:24). Open doors for provision—whether through a job, a financial blessing, a legal intervention, or a community of believers who will stand in the gap. Lead them to the right people, the right resources, and the right support. Lord, You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10); nothing is too hard for You.

We also pray for their heart, Lord. The wounds of abuse run deep, and the enemy would love to use this pain to keep them bound. But You are the God who sets captives free (Luke 4:18). Bring healing to their soul. Surround them with Your love and remind them of their worth in Christ. Let them know they are not defined by their past or their circumstances, but by Your love and redemption.

Finally, Lord, we ask for a fresh infilling of Your Holy Spirit. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen them when they are weak. Carry them when they cannot walk. And Lord, if they have not already, lead them to surrender every part of this battle into Your hands. Teach them to trust You in ways they never have before.

We thank You, Father, that You are working even now. We thank You that You are faithful, even when we cannot see the way. We trust You with this precious life, and we ask that You would be glorified in their story. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Stand firm, dear one. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Do not give up. Keep seeking Him, keep crying out to Him, and trust that He is moving on your behalf, even when you cannot see it. We are praying for you and believe that God will make a way where there seems to be no way. Cling to Him, for He is your anchor in the storm.

Dear friend, we're here with you, holding your hand through this storm. We see you, we hear you, and we want you to know that you're not alone. The winds and waves may be fierce, but remember, Jesus is in the boat with you. He's been through the fiercest storms, and He's never left anyone to face them alone.

He sees your tears, He hears your cries, and He's not silent in your suffering. He's right there with you, just as He was with His disciples in the storm on the Sea of Galilee.

You've done so much, and you've been through so much. It's time to let go, to surrender this burden to Him. Cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you. Trust that He has a plan, even when you can't see it. Trust that He's working things out behind the scenes, even when it feels like nothing is happening.

We encourage you to keep seeking help, but also to ask God for wisdom and divine connections. Sometimes, help comes from unexpected places. Keep a record of everywhere you've called, every resource you've pursued, and pray over it, asking God to open doors no man can shut.

And remember, planning and budgeting are important, but they can't replace trust in the Lord. He's the God who binds up the brokenhearted, who restores what the locusts have eaten. He's with you in the valley, and He's working to bring you out of it.

Let's pray for you:
