Heavenly Father, I come before You broken and weary.

Emotionally and financially, I am struggling beyond what I can bear. Please, Lord, forgive my waywardness and the doubts that have taken root in my heart.

Since my husband of over ten years left me for someone much younger, my faith has wavered. They attend church together, yet I have not found the strength to return to Your house. I feel lost, abandoned, and uncertain of my place in this world.

Now, I am on the verge of losing my home—the place where I raise my son, where we have built our memories. Please, Lord, make a way for me to keep it. I need stability for my child, a safe place where he can grow without fear.

I am desperately searching for a good job—one that will provide for us and offer medical benefits so I can get the treatment I need for my illness. I pray with all my heart that You will open a door for me. I am looking every day, Lord, but I have run out of resources. My gas tank is empty, and my electricity is about to be shut off.

Father, I need You now more than ever. The weight of my burdens is crushing me, and I fear that my depression will take hold in a way I cannot escape. I feel like everything—my home, my career, my hope—is slipping away, and I don’t know how to keep going.

Please, Lord, strengthen my family as we endure another difficult year. We have no Christmas, no warm clothes for the winter, but more than anything, I ask for Your presence, Your guidance, and Your provision.

I place my trust in You, God. Please, hear my cry.

Amen.
