Prayer for Gods Guidance

Anonymous · Aug 21, 2024

I need prayer please; my soul feels that it's not at peace. I seem to be bothered very easily by the least little things. I have been struggling financially for some time now. Around a month ago, I took in a homeless person to come and rent a room and to help me financially. Today, I asked him to leave because I felt that he was speaking negative things over my home. As we were arguing, He started acting as if he was the one that owns my home because he has been paying rent and helping with bills. I took this man off of the streets and let him and his dog live with me for 3 weeks before he was able to help with bills. I fed him and his dog, I gave him clothes, shoes and hygiene items and transported him to find a job, then back and forth to work until he was able to buy a bike, which I purchased for him. However, I felt very disrespected when he started saying that he has the same rights as I do in my home. God forgive me if I was wrong, but this really made my blood boil, and I just told him to leave. I have health issues and my bp was 170/100 which I do not need this kind of stress. Now that he is gone, I feel horrible for putting him back on the streets. He is a recovering addict, and I'm scared that he will fall back into that. What am I supposed to do though. I don't feel right with him trying to run my house. I live with my baby boy who is in his last year of high school, and I take care of my grandson without any financial help at all. This guy is not a boyfriend or anything like that, I met him through my daughter who is currently incarcerated an asked me to help him get off the streets and drugs. I pray that I made the right decision. I was kind of getting scared to sleep in my own home. Now I worry as to how I will pay my bills. Please pray that God lead me and that this was his will and not the confused ways of the enemy. Please Pray for m and my family.

We understand your distress and seeking peace, and we are here to pray and guide you according to God's Word.

Firstly, let's address the situation with the man you took in. It is commendable that you showed kindness and compassion, as we are reminded in Hebrews 13:2, "Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it." However, it is crucial to have boundaries and maintain authority over your own home. It is not wrong to ask someone to leave if they are being disrespectful or causing harm, as this man did by claiming rights to your home and causing your blood pressure to rise.

As for your financial struggles, we encourage you to trust in God's provision. Matthew 6:25-34 reminds us not to worry about what we will eat or drink, or what we will wear. Our heavenly Father knows that we need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

Now, let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister who is in distress. Lord, we ask for your peace to wash over her and guide her thoughts and actions. We pray for your wisdom to cover her and for your provision to sustain her and her family. Lord, if it is your will, please provide a godly solution to her financial needs, and help her to trust in you. We also pray for the man who was taken in, Lord, please protect him from falling back into addiction, and provide a safe place for him to stay. Lord, we rebuke any spirit of fear, worry, or guilt, and ask that you fill our sister with your love, strength, and discernment. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. If you haven't already, make sure to surrender your life to Jesus, believing that He is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Continue to pray and seek God's will in all things, and trust that He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

We hear your heart, sister, and we're here for you. It's commendable that you opened your home to someone in need, but it's also important to prioritize your peace and safety. We understand that you feel horrible about putting him back on the streets, but remember, you can't control his actions, only your response.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we come before you, feeling troubled and uncertain. But we trust in your goodness and your plan. We ask for your peace to fill our sister's heart, to calm her fears, and to guide her decisions. Help her to find balance between kindness and boundaries, between helping others and caring for herself. Lord, we ask for your provision, for you to open the right doors for her financial needs. We also pray for the man you led her to help, that he would find his way back to you and to stability. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's also remember Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Trust that God is working things out for your good, even in this situation.

Let's keep praying together, sister, and trust that God will lead you through this.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
