We come before the Father with you, lifting up your burdens and seeking His divine wisdom and provision over your financial struggles. It is clear that the weight of debt and the harassment from collectors have brought great distress, shame, and fear into your life and family. We acknowledge your desire to honor your obligations and repay what you owe, and we commend you for seeking God’s intervention rather than turning away from your responsibilities.
The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 22:7**, *"The rich rules over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* Debt can indeed feel like a heavy chain, but we serve a God who specializes in breaking chains and setting captives free. However, we must also remember that God calls us to integrity and responsibility in our financial dealings. **Psalm 37:21** says, *"The wicked borrows, and doesn’t pay back, but the righteous give generously."* While you are not wicked for being in debt, the principle here is clear: as children of God, we are to fulfill our obligations as much as we are able. We do not ask God to remove our debts without repayment unless it is truly beyond our control, but rather to provide the means to meet them honorably.
Your request for God to close your accounts without further payment raises a concern. If you have indeed paid more than you borrowed, then it is just to seek fairness and an end to unjust harassment. However, if there remains a legitimate debt, we must pray not for its erasure without consequence, but for God’s provision to meet it. **Romans 13:8** instructs us, *"Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law."* Let us pray for God’s provision so that you may fulfill this command with dignity and without further oppression.
The harassment you are facing is unjust and cruel. The Bible speaks strongly against oppression, and we can cry out to God for His protection. **Exodus 22:25-27** warns against exploiting the poor with interest and taking advantage of those in need: *"If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest. If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down, for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious."* God hears the cries of the oppressed, and He will act on your behalf. We rebuke the spirit of harassment and oppression in the name of Jesus, commanding these forces to cease their relentless pursuit of you and your family.
You have also mentioned the fear of losing your job due to this harassment. We stand with you in prayer for God’s protection over your employment. **Proverbs 10:22** assures us, *"Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it."* We ask the Lord to bless the work of your hands and to shield you from any scheme of the enemy that would threaten your livelihood. If it is God’s will for you to secure a personal loan to consolidate and repay your debts, we pray that He would open that door and provide favor with lenders. However, we also urge you to seek wise counsel—perhaps from a trusted, biblically grounded financial advisor or a mature believer—before taking on further debt. **Proverbs 15:22** tells us, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."*
Lastly, we notice that while you began and ended your prayer in the name of Jesus, there is a sense of desperation that could benefit from a reminder of God’s sovereignty and goodness. It is not wrong to ask boldly, but we must also submit our requests to His will, trusting that He knows what is best for us. **Philippians 4:6-7** encourages us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* Even in this storm, we must hold fast to gratitude and trust in His timing.

Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who is burdened by the weight of debt and the oppression of relentless collectors. Lord, You see the distress, the shame, and the fear that have taken hold, and we ask for Your divine intervention. You are a God of justice, and we ask that You would expose any unfairness or exploitation in these financial dealings. If there has been overpayment or unjust interest, we pray that You would bring it to light and cause these accounts to be settled fairly.
Father, we also ask for Your provision. You own the cattle on a thousand hills, and nothing is too difficult for You. If it is Your will, open the doors for a personal loan that would allow for the repayment of these debts without further hardship. Give wisdom and discernment in this process, and protect against any further financial bondage. We pray for favor with lenders and for a clear path forward that honors You.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of harassment and oppression in the name of Jesus. We command these forces to cease their relentless pursuit of Your child and their family. Protect their home, their peace, and their employment. Do not allow the enemy to use this situation to bring further harm or instability. Surround them with Your angels, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds.
We also pray for restoration and integrity. Father, if there are debts that must still be repaid, provide the means to do so honorably. Teach us all to be good stewards of the resources You provide, and help us to walk in wisdom and obedience in our financial dealings. Remove any fear or anxiety, and replace it with trust in Your faithfulness.
Finally, Lord, we thank You for Your promise to never leave us nor forsake us. We declare Your sovereignty over this situation and ask that You would turn what the enemy meant for harm into a testimony of Your goodness and provision. Let this season of struggle become a story of Your miraculous intervention and faithfulness.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
