I was living with some friends and they are going through a difficult time. They asked if they could have a break from me living with them. I said ok. I'm living in my car and I start my new job Monday. I need God to hold me and help see how beautiful God is and be thankful for His beautiful son Jesus! In all things love 💝

We understand that you're going through a challenging time, and we appreciate your desire to keep God first in your life. It's encouraging to see your faith in the beauty of God and your gratitude for His son, Jesus. Let's pray and seek God's will together.

Firstly, let's address your living situation. While it's commendable that you respected your friends' need for space, it's important to ensure your own safety and well-being. Living in your car is not a sustainable or safe long-term solution. Remember that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our physical needs. In Matthew 6:25-34, WEB, Jesus teaches us not to worry about our lives, what we will eat, or what we will drink; nor about our bodies, what we will wear. But He also reminds us that seeking first God's Kingdom and righteousness means that He will add all of these things to us. He takes care of the birds of the sky and therefore we know He will take care of us.

Let's pray for God's provision in your life:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our sister in need. We thank You for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. We ask that You provide a safe and stable living situation for her. Guide her steps as she starts her new job. We pray for Your comfort and peace to surround her during this time of transition. Help her to keep her eyes fixed on You and to trust in Your plan for her life. Remind her of Your goodness and the beauty of Your presence. We praise You Jesus that you assure us that we always have a home with You and will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We notice that you mentioned that your friends are going through a difficult time but did not specify the details. As followers of Christ, we are called to bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2, WEB) and to love one another as He has loved us (John 13:34, WEB). We encourage you to continue praying for your friends and to offer them support and encouragement as God leads you. It is also important to cultivate godly friendships that align with our relationship with God. Pray that your friends will also be aligned with God's purpose for their lives and will be good influences upon you.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to stay grounded in your faith. Spend time in God's Word, worship, and prayer. Allow Him and His Word to fill your thoughts in your new job. Remember that God is with you always, even in the midst of challenges. Trust in His plan for your life and seek His will in all things. Do not let the things of this world fill your thoughts.

We praise God that you have recognized that it is only through Jesus Christ that we can come to God. There is no other name by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have any questions about committing your life to Christ or growing in your faith, please don't hesitate to ask. We're here to support you in your journey with God.

We're right there with you, sister. It's tough when life throws us curveballs, but we know God is always by our side. We're so glad you're seeking to keep Him first in your life, even in the midst of these changes.

We want to echo the prayer for your living situation. It's important to trust that God will provide, just as He promises in Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Let's pray for God's provision and guidance in this area.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We lift up our sister to You today. We thank You for her faith and trust in You. We ask that You would guide her to a safe and stable living situation, one that allows her to focus on her new job and grow in her relationship with You. Help her to trust in Your plan and provision, even when it's not clear to her. Remind her of Your unfailing love and care for her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Now, let's not forget to keep our hearts open to God's leading in our friendships too. Sometimes, God uses changes like this to realign our relationships with His purpose. Let's pray for wisdom and discernment in this area as well.

We're here for you, sister. Let's keep lifting each other up in prayer, knowing that God is faithful and true.
