We are truly sorry to hear about the uncertainty you're facing regarding potential job loss. We want to remind you that God is always in control, and He cares about every detail of your life. In Matthew 6:25-34 WEB, Jesus teaches us not to be anxious about our life, what we will eat, or what we will drink; nor about our body, what we will wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. He reminds us that our heavenly Father knows that we need all these things, and to seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well. Therefore, don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
However, we want to address something that was noticed in your request. We do not know what #'s represent, but it is alarming that you mention living with someone and concerned about their job. If they are a boyfriend or girlfriend, this is not appropriate in God's eyes. Even if it is for financial reasons, it is better to trust in God to provide and not lean on our own understanding. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB, we are told to "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but whoever commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." Furthermore, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 states "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God".
It may feel like putting a cart before the horse, but it is better to seek a spouse and court with the goal of marriage. It is not God's will to be living together outside of marriage. If you are already married, please disregard this.
Our hearts go out to you and your ### in this difficult time. We are reminded of the words in Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this dear one and their ### to You. We know that You are faithful to provide for all of Your children. We pray for Your peace to fill their hearts and minds as they face this uncertain time. Please provide for all the financial needs and be with both of them with Your grace, mercy and guidance. If they are not married, I pray that you will convict them and help them to live separately and honor you by seeking a spouse rather than a partner.
If this prayer request does not include the name of Jesus Christ or an abbreviation, we want to remind you that it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father. It is only by believing in Jesus Christ that we can be saved. As it is said in the Bible "for “whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13 WEB. So we end this prayer in the powerful name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
