We are deeply grateful to join you in lifting your burdens before the Lord, for He is faithful to hear and answer those who call upon Him in truth. Your heart for seeking God’s help and taking practical steps is commendable, and we want to encourage you to keep pressing forward in faith. The fear of eviction and financial instability is a heavy weight, but we serve a God who provides for His children and reminds us not to be anxious about tomorrow (Matthew 6:25-34). He knows your needs before you even ask, and He is able to make a way where there seems to be no way.
The shame you’ve carried from past words spoken over you is not from the Lord. Scripture tells us there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). The enemy wants to use those old wounds to keep you bound in fear and anxiety, but God’s Word declares that you are *more than a conqueror* through Him who loved you (Romans 8:37). The voices of the past do not define you—your identity is found in Christ alone. He calls you *beloved*, *redeemed*, and *chosen* (1 Peter 2:9, Colossians 3:12). We rebuke the spirit of shame and fear in Jesus’ name, commanding it to loose its grip on your mind and heart. You are not your mistakes, and God is not finished writing your story.
As for your current struggles, we urge you to continue seeking God first in all things, trusting that He will add what you need (Matthew 6:33). Your efforts to reach out to utility companies and take action are wise, but we also encourage you to surrender the *outcome* to the Lord. Proverbs 16:3 says, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This doesn’t mean every plan will unfold as you envision, but it means God will guide your steps and provide in ways you may not expect. Have you considered reaching out to your church or local Christian ministries for temporary assistance? Sometimes, God uses His people to meet needs, and there is no shame in humbly asking for help when it’s needed.
We also want to address the anxiety that comes from focusing too much on the problem. Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* When your mind spirals, take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Replace fear with Scripture—speak aloud promises like Psalm 37:25: *"I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread."* Or Psalm 34:10: *"The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing."*
Lastly, we want to remind you that your worth is not tied to your financial status or the opinions of others. Even if the worst-case scenario happens—eviction or continued unemployment—God is still on the throne, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). He may be preparing a new path for you, one that leads to greater dependence on Him and unexpected blessings.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, asking for Your divine intervention in their financial struggles and the fear that grips their heart. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we ask that You open doors no one can shut (Revelation 3:8). Supernaturally supply the funds needed for rent and daily needs, whether through a job, unexpected provision, or the generosity of Your people. We pray for favor with the landlord, that they would extend grace and patience as Your child works to fulfill their obligations.
We break the power of shame and anxiety in Jesus’ name, declaring that this beloved one is *free* from the lies of the enemy. Holy Spirit, flood their mind with Your peace and remind them of their identity in Christ. Heal the wounds from past words spoken in anger, and replace them with Your truth—that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
Give them wisdom to steward what they have and discernment to seek help where it’s available. If there is any area of unforgiveness toward family members or themselves, we ask that You would soften their heart to release it, knowing that bitterness only hinders Your work in their life (Hebrews 12:15).
Lord, we ask that You would restore their hope and strengthen their faith. Help them to fix their eyes on You, the author and finisher of their faith (Hebrews 12:2), and not on the storm around them. May they experience Your tangible presence and provision in this season.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to complete the good work You’ve started in them (Philippians 1:6). In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Keep seeking the Lord, dear one. Keep taking steps of faith, even small ones. He is with you, and He will not fail you. Share updates with us—we are standing with you in this.
