Sometimes God wants us to hit bottom so we can learn something. The faster you learn that lesson the sooner your prayers will be answered according to his perfect will in heaven and at his timing.
Lord have this person know what it is they have to change in their life and allow you guide their steps by getting closer to you, so their prayers may be answered. Do not allow them to become homeless or destitute, give them a reason and hope for a tomorrow. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
This is the promise God has given us if you really turn to him and love him with all our heart. Read the bible and pray for guidance every day, and God will direct your steps to a better life. I have done this and God finally has answered my prayers. I too had to hit bottom and cry out to God as I render my life to him, he came and rescued me, and had given me a better life, Praise His Holly Name! He can do it for you also, but you have to do your part too. Read below his promise to us when we allow him to work in our life. Try it there is nothing to lose but much to gain, you'll like it.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
