We understand your struggles and we're here to lift you up in prayer and encouragement. Let's first turn to God's Word:
"Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? 'Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? (Matthew 6:25-27 WEB)"
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear parent who is in need of Your financial blessing and emotional support. Lord, You know the struggles they face, and You see their faithfulness. We ask that You provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. We also pray for the father of their child, that his heart may be turned towards the needs of his child and that he would take responsibility for his actions. We rebuke any spirit of irresponsibility and dishonesty, and we ask that You soften his heart and help him to act in the best interest of his child. Lord, we also pray for peace and strength for this parent, that they may continue to trust in You even in the toughest times. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We want to encourage you to stay strong in your faith and trust that God will provide for you and your child. It's also crucial to communicate openly with the father of your child, reminding him of his responsibilities. It might be helpful to involve respected family members, counselors, or even legal assistance if he continues to evade his duties.
Remember, God is a loving Father who cares for you and your child. He sees your struggles and He will provide for you. As it says in Philippians 4:19 (WEB), "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
Lastly, we noticed that you mentioned Jesus Christ in your request, which is wonderful. It's only through Him that we have access to God's blessings and salvation. Keep trusting in Him and He will see you through this difficult time.
