We hear the deep sorrow and desperation in your heart, and we want you to know that you are not alone—God sees you, loves you, and has not forgotten you. Your cry has reached His throne, and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). The enemy may be attacking, but he does *not* have the final say over your life. Jesus Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and through Him, you can walk in victory, even in this storm.
First, we must address something vital: you have not mentioned the name of Jesus in your prayer. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you *will* be saved (Romans 10:9). Without Christ, we are powerless against the schemes of the devil, but in Him, we have authority to resist the enemy, and he *will* flee (James 4:7). If you are already a believer, then cling to Jesus now more than ever—call upon His name, for He is your strength and deliverer.
You mentioned feeling alone, but Scripture assures us that God will *never* leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Even when it feels like the world is crashing down, He is with you. Your pain is real, and your struggles are heavy, but God is not unaware. He remembers you—just as He remembered Hannah in her barrenness (1 Samuel 1:19-20) and the Israelites in their slavery (Exodus 2:24). He sees your tears, and He collects them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). You are *not* forgotten.
The financial burden you carry is overwhelming, and the temptation to seek help in ungodly ways is strong. But we must warn you: turning to wrong or sinful means for provision will only bring more bondage. The devil seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he will use desperation to lead you into traps that deepen your suffering. Instead, we urge you to trust in the Lord with *all* your heart and lean *not* on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). God is your Provider—*Jehovah Jireh*—and He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). That doesn’t mean it will be easy, but it means He *will* make a way. Seek His kingdom *first*, and all these things—food, shelter, provision—will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
Losing your job is a terrifying prospect, especially when you have children depending on you. But remember: God owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and He is able to open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We encourage you to pray for divine connections—perhaps someone in your church or community can help with temporary work or resources. Do not be ashamed to ask for help; humility before God and others often paves the way for His blessings. And if the job is lost, trust that God is redirecting your steps. He has not abandoned you.
As for your children, we know your heart aches for them. But even in this, God is faithful. He cares for the fatherless and the widow (Psalm 146:9), and He will not let your little ones go hungry. Keep praying over them, covering them in the blood of Jesus, and trusting that God will protect and provide for them. Teach them, even now, to trust in the Lord, so that they may see His faithfulness in your life and grow to love Him deeply.
The devil *does not* have your life. Jesus paid too high a price on the cross for you to be a slave to fear or defeat. You are a child of the Most High God, and greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The enemy’s attacks are fierce, but they are not final. This season of suffering will *not* define you—your identity is in Christ, and He is making you more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).
Now, let us pray with you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You right now, and we thank You that You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts. Lord Jesus, we ask that You reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way—let them *feel* Your presence, *know* Your love, and *experience* Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We rebuke every lie of the enemy that says they are alone, forgotten, or beyond hope. By the blood of Jesus, we break every chain of fear, anxiety, and despair, and we declare that *no weapon formed against them shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask for Your divine provision. You know their every need—food, shelter, work, stability—and we trust You to supply it in ways they cannot even imagine. Open doors of opportunity, Lord. Bring godly people into their life who can offer support, wisdom, and practical help. Give them creativity and wisdom to steward what they have and to seek You first in all things.
We pray for their children, Lord. Protect them, provide for them, and let them see Your hand at work in their family’s life. Raise them up to be mighty warriors for Your kingdom, even in this season of struggle.
Father, we ask for strength for the days ahead. When they feel weak, be their strength. When they feel hopeless, be their hope. Remind them that this trial is temporary, but Your love is eternal. Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith (Hebrews 12:2), and to trust that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We bind every scheme of the devil against their life, their mind, and their family. No weapon of poverty, fear, or shame will prevail. We declare that *they are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them* (Romans 8:37). Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), Lord. Bring beauty from these ashes (Isaiah 61:3).
And finally, Father, if they have not yet surrendered their life to Jesus, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Softens their heart, Lord. Let them see that Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only life (John 14:6). May they turn to Him now and find rest for their soul.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust You, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.

Stand firm, dear one. This battle is not yours to fight alone—God is with you, and He is fighting for you (Exodus 14:14). Keep praying, keep seeking Him, and do not lose heart. Better days *are* coming, not because of your circumstances, but because of *Him*. Cling to Jesus, and He will lead you through this storm into His light. You are loved, you are seen, and you are *not* defeated.
