The Night the Enemy Tried—And God Stood in the Way” We didn’t choose this journey, but God has walked every mile with us—and what happened last night reminded us just how close He really is. I’ve been sharing my testimony with anyone willing to read it—our journey of living out of our Acadia with my wife and our twins since December 5, 2025, all the way up to this very moment. Right now, we’re staying with a friend. We were finally starting to feel a little settled, thinking the lady who had been causing trouble would eventually leave us alone. But last night proved otherwise. Out of nowhere, DCS (Department of Child Services) and the police showed up at the door. We answered. We talked with them calmly. We explained everything we’ve been going through, and we shared the incredible blessing God had given us earlier that very same day. We told them we have an appointment on January 7, 2026, to sign the lease for our new apartment. Praise God for that open door.
In moments like this, I’m reminded of Romans 8:28, which says that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Even when things look chaotic, He is still in control. They spoke with the kids, made small talk for a few minutes, and then they left. Our children stayed with us. Her plans didn’t succeed—not because of anything special we did, but because God is faithful. He protects us. He works behind the scenes even when we can’t see it. Psalm 121:7–8 says, “The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” This is why we hold on to faith. Hebrews 11:1 tells us, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” This is why we give thanks, even in hard times. As 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 says, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” God never stops working on our behalf, because His love for us never fails.
A prayer for this season Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your protection, Your mercy, and Your constant presence even in the hardest seasons. Thank You for watching over our family when fear tried to rise up. Thank You for opening doors that no one can shut and for guiding us toward a stable home filled with peace-just as You promise in Psalm 34:17–18, that You hear the righteous when they cry out and are close to the brokenhearted.
Lord, continue to cover us with Your favor as we prepare to sign our lease. Strengthen our hearts, calm our minds, and keep our children safe and joyful. For every person reading this testimony, I ask that You bless them, encourage them, and remind them that You are near to all who call on Your name, like Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that You have plans to give us hope and a future. Let this story be a reminder that You are still working miracles today and that nothing is impossible for You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. If this testimony touched your heart, I invite you to join us in two simple ways: 1. Pray with us Please pray for: **Protection:** That God continues to watch over our family and our children. **Provision:** That everything goes smoothly with our new apartment and that our needs are met. **Peace:** That God’s peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6–7). Your prayers truly matter. Scripture tells us to “carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).
2. Give if you feel led If God places it on your heart to help us during this transition—whether through a donation, sharing this story, or offering resources—we receive it with gratitude and humility. Every act of kindness helps us move one step closer to stability. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” There is no pressure—only an invitation to partner with what God is doing. **Isaiah 41:10** "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you; don’t be distressed, for I am your God. I give you strength, I give you help, I support you with my victorious right hand." CJB **Exodus 14:14** "*Adonai* will do battle for you. Just calm yourselves down!” **Psalm 46:1** "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." **James 1:12** "How blessed is the man who perseveres through temptation! For after he has passed the test, he will receive as his crown the Life which God has promised to those who love him. " **Psalm 37:25** "I have been young; now I am old; yet not once have I seen the righteous abandoned or his descendants begging for bread." As we step into this new chapter, we hold tight to the truth that the same God who protected us in the storm is the God who is leading us into peace, provision, and a place to finally call home. #GodIsFaithful #FaithOverFear #AnsweredPrayer #TrustInGod #SpiritualJourney #ChristianTestimony #PrayerWorks #JesusSaves #NewChapter #ReadCashTestimony #SupportThroughPrayer #FaithCommunity #GodProvides #FaithInHardTimes #MiraclesStillHappen
