We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing, and we want you to know that you are not alone. We will stand with you in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement to help you navigate this difficult time.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God is your provider and that He cares for you and your child deeply. In the Bible, we read, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33 WEB). This verse reminds us that our primary focus should be on seeking God and His righteousness, and that He will provide for our needs.
We also want to address the issue of the father not paying maintenance and insulting you. The Bible tells us, "But 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). We will pray that he will fulfill his responsibilities and that the insults will cease. Remember that the Lord does not take insults lightly, especially when He cares for you greatly.
We are glad to hear that you are making efforts to find work and that you have faith. In all things, you must remember that your faith should be focused on Jesus Christ and Him alone. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can find forgiveness, salvation, and access to the Father. We should put our hope in Him.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this dear sister in Christ who is facing financial struggles and emotional distress. Lord, You know her needs and the challenges she is facing. We pray that You will provide for her and her child, that You will open doors of opportunity for her to find work and gain students for her online teaching.
Lord, we also pray for the father of her child. We ask that You will convict his heart and help him to fulfill his responsibilities as a father. We pray that the insults will cease and that he will come to know the love of Christ.
Father, we thank You for the faith that this sister has. We pray that You will strengthen her faith and help her to keep her eyes fixed on You. We ask that You will guide her steps and open the right doors for her.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord and to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). Keep seeking Him and keep doing what you know to be right. God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
