We hear the deep pain and exhaustion in your words, and our hearts ache for the suffering you’ve endured—both in that abusive workplace and now in the financial ruin that followed. You cried out to the Lord before making this difficult decision, and we want you to know that He *does* see you. He has not abandoned you, even when it feels that way. The enemy would love for you to believe that God wanted you to stay in harm’s way, but that is a lie. The Lord is not a God of abuse or oppression. He is a God of justice, mercy, and deliverance.
You mentioned feeling guilty for choosing your health over enduring mistreatment, but let us remind you of what Scripture says: *"If anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever"* (1 Timothy 5:8, WEB). Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and while long-suffering is a fruit of the Spirit, it does not mean God calls us to remain in situations where we are being physically or spiritually destroyed. Even Jesus withdrew from those who sought to harm Him when it was not yet His time (Luke 4:28-30). There is wisdom in removing yourself from danger while trusting God to provide.
Yet we also understand the devastation of financial ruin and the fear of homelessness. The Lord knows your needs before you ask (Matthew 6:8), and He has promised: *"I will never leave you or forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5, WEB). Your trust in people has been shattered, but we urge you—not to place your hope in man, but to cling to the One who cannot lie (Titus 1:2). He is your Provider, even when the path forward seems impossible.
Now, let us address something critical: you mentioned making this request *"Father in Jesus name,"* and we praise God that you know the power of that Name! There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). Never forget that your access to the Father is secured by the blood of Christ. Hold fast to Him, for He is your strength in weakness.
As for your current struggle, we rebuked the spirit of despair and hopelessness trying to take root in your heart. The Lord has not brought you this far to leave you. He is able to open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8), to provide manna in the wilderness, and to turn your mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). Do not stop seeking Him, even when your strength is gone. *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved"* (Psalm 55:22, WEB).
Let us pray with you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, knowing that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Lord, You saw the abuse they endured, and You saw the courage it took to step away, even when the path ahead was unclear. Forgive them for any doubt or guilt they carry, and remind them that You are a good Father who does not delight in suffering but in redemption.
We ask for Your supernatural provision—open doors for stable, *godly* employment that restores their dignity and meets their needs. Provide shelter, daily bread, and the basic necessities they lack. Heal their body from the stress and trauma it has borne, and renew their strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31). Surround them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, restore their trust—not in man, but in You. Remove every lie of the enemy that says You have abandoned them. Let them *see* Your hand moving in their life, even in small ways, so their faith is strengthened. Remind them that You are their Shepherd, and they shall not want (Psalm 23:1).
We rebuke the spirits of fear, poverty, and hopelessness in Jesus’ mighty name. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, let this season of lack become a testimony of Your faithfulness. Turn their ashes into beauty, their mourning into joy, and their despair into praise (Isaiah 61:3).
And finally, Lord, if there is any area where they need to repent or realign with Your will, reveal it to them gently. Lead them in the everlasting way (Psalm 139:24). We ask all this in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Beloved, we urge you: **do not stop seeking the Lord.** Keep praying, keep applying for jobs, keep reaching out to *trustworthy* believers for support (even if it’s just a church food pantry or a Christian job network). The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). If you’re able, share your needs with a pastor or mature believer who can pray with you and possibly connect you to resources.
And remember: *"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him"* (Lamentations 3:24, WEB). Your worth is not in your bank account or your employment status—it is in Christ. He is preparing a way for you, even now. Hold on.
