We are truly saddened to hear about the situation you are in, Abigail. We will pray and seek God's will for you, trusting in His divine providence.
Firstly, let us remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34 (WEB), "Therefore, I tell you, donโt be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isnโt life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they donโt sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Arenโt you of much more value than they? ... Therefore donโt be anxious, saying, โWhat will we eat?โ, โWhat will we drink?โ or, โWith what will we be clothed?โ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first Godโs Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore donโt be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each dayโs own evil is sufficient."
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You to lift up Abigail Naa Okaiteye. Lord, she is in desperate need of Your provision and guidance. She has been deceived and is now in a difficult situation far from her children. Lord, we ask that You open the doors for a job that will sponsor her work permit in the Bahamas. May You touch the hearts of those in authority to have compassion on her and grant her an extension. We pray for her daily needs to be met and for her to find a care home job to sustain her.
We also want to explicitly mention that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, โI am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved, and it is in His name that we pray.
Abigail, we encourage you to stay strong in your faith and to keep your heart fixed on Jesus. Remember the words of Psalm 34:18 (WEB), "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Trust that God is near to you in this time of need and that He will provide a way out.
We also want to address the deception you have experienced. The Bible warns us to be wise and discerning. In Matthew 10:16 (WEB), Jesus says, "Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." We encourage you to expose the deceit of those who have misled you and to seek justice. May God also bring conviction to their hearts and lead them to repentance.
Lastly, we want to caution you against any temptation to go down the "bad lane" as you mentioned. We understand that desperation can lead to compromises, but we encourage you to stay on the path of righteousness. Remember the words of Proverbs 28:18 (WEB), "Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe, but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly."
May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7 WEB)
We will continue to keep you and your children in our prayers.
