We understand that you are facing a significant challenge with debt and financial strain. First, we want to remind you that God cares about every aspect of your life, including your finances. It's crucial to remember that our help comes from God alone, and He is able to provide for all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus, when we pray believing.
In Matthew 6:25-34 WEB Jesus encourages His followers:
Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith? Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you 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 encourage you to look at your spending habits. Did you get into debt for necessities or luxuries?
Very often, debt is the result of poor spending habits or spending on luxuries that we are trying to enjoy now.
Romans 13:8 WEB
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
It is also important to remember that it is only by the name of Jesus we have access to God.
Therefore, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother who is burdened with debt. We ask, Jesus, that You guide him and provide for all his needs according to Your riches in glory. Help him to seek You above all else and to trust in Your provision. Give him wisdom to manage his finances responsibly and to make decisions that honor You. Help him learn from his past mistakes and become a good steward of what You have given him. Lord bless him and we are praying this in Jesus' name. Amen.
We encourage you to trust in God, and as you begin to seek God's provision and wisdom and face any poor spending habits that may have been causing this.
