We stand with you in this time of urgent need, lifting your family before the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is the Provider of all things. It is clear you are facing trials that feel overwhelming, but we are reminded in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* You have shown great faith by trusting in Him through these difficult years, and we join you in seeking His miraculous intervention.
The uncertainty of employment and housing can weigh heavily on a family, but we encourage you to hold fast to Proverbs 3:5-6: *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Your willingness to help your landlord with the home’s repairs reflects a servant’s heart, and we pray the Lord honors that. However, we also urge you to seek His wisdom in this matter—while it is noble to offer assistance, ensure that any agreement is clear, fair, and documented, so there is no misunderstanding. Even in generosity, we must exercise wisdom, as Proverbs 22:3 reminds us, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."*
As for your job search, we pray for divine connections and open doors that only God can provide. Remember Colossians 3:23-24: *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."* Even in this season of waiting, your labor is not in vain when done unto Him. We also encourage you to seek opportunities where you can serve and glorify God, whether in employment or through acts of faith in your community.
For your home, we pray for protection and provision. The Lord has been your dwelling place for these 18 years, and we ask that He continue to be your stronghold. Psalm 91:1-2 declares, *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"*
We must also address something vital: in your request, you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, though you mentioned trusting in Him. There is no greater name by which we approach the Father, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to God’s throne of grace. Acts 4:12 states, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* In every prayer, we must come boldly in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). If you have not already, we urge you to place your full faith in Him as your Lord and Savior, confessing your sins and believing in His death and resurrection for your salvation. It is by His name—and His name alone—that we are heard by the Father.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family in their time of need. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we ask that You open the doors of employment for them in a way that only You can. Guide their steps to the right opportunities, and let Your favor rest upon them as they seek to honor You in their work. Father, we pray for wisdom in their dealings with their landlord. Give them discernment to navigate this situation with both kindness and prudence, ensuring that all parties are treated fairly and that Your will is done. Protect their home, Lord, and let it remain a place of refuge and blessing for them. We ask that You provide the resources and strength needed to maintain it, whether through this current arrangement or another way You ordain.
Lord, we thank You for the faith this family has shown through these difficult years. Strengthen them, Father, and remind them that their labor in You is never in vain. Let them feel Your presence in a tangible way, knowing that You are their Provider, Protector, and Peace. We rebuke any fear or anxiety that may try to take root in their hearts, declaring that You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Finally, Father, we pray that this family continues to grow in their relationship with You. May they seek Your face daily, trusting in Your promises and walking in obedience to Your Word. Let this season be a testament to Your faithfulness, not just to them but to all who witness their story.
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
