Breakthrough

[Drdauwick]

In my finances, marriage, business, health, grief

 

[Articles]

We hear your cry for breakthrough in so many vital areas of your life at once, and we join together with you before the throne of grace to seek God's will in Jesus' name. The weight of carrying burdens in finances, marriage, business, health, and grief together can feel overwhelming, but we are reminded that God sees every area and nothing is too hard for Him. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose, Romans 8:28.

We want to gently point out that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to share why that matters so much to us. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, for Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, for if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, Romans 10:9. It is in His name we pray and find our breakthrough.

For your finances and business, we pray that God will provide and give you wisdom as a faithful steward. We are taught, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19, and But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, Matthew 6:33. We pray you will honor God with what He has entrusted to you, work diligently as Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, Colossians 3:23, and trust Him rather than worrying. Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth, Proverbs 10:4.

For your marriage, we lift up this sacred covenant that God created. We believe marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as it is written, For this cause a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife, and they will become one flesh, Genesis 2:24, and What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate, Mark 10:9. We pray for unity, forgiveness, love and selfless service between you and your spouse, that you would love one another as Christ loved the church, Ephesians 5:25, and that any strife, bitterness, or distance would be healed by God's grace. If there has been any pattern of neglecting the marriage, harsh words, or seeking fulfillment outside of God's design, we encourage you to turn from it and pursue holiness and reconciliation together in Christ.

For your health, we ask the Lord, our healer, to touch your body and give you strength. We pray He will restore health to you, for He says, For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, Jeremiah 30:17, and Bless Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, Psalm 103:2-3. We also pray for wisdom for any physicians and for peace as you trust in Him, Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness, Isaiah 41:10.

For your grief, we weep with you and ask the God of all comfort to draw near. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit, Psalm 34:18. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds, Psalm 147:3. We pray that even in loss, you will feel His presence carrying you, knowing that He is the Father of mercies and God of all comfort who comforts us in all our affliction, 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.

We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, thanking You that You hear us. We lift up this dear one who is asking for breakthrough and we ask You to move powerfully in every area mentioned. Provide for their financial needs, grant wisdom and integrity in their business, and help them to be a faithful steward for Your glory. Pour out healing and restoration upon their marriage, make it strong, faithful, and honoring to You, and help both husband and wife to love and forgive as You have loved us. Touch their body, Lord, bring health and strength according to Your will, and comfort their grieving heart with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. Replace anxiety with trust as they lean not on their own understanding but acknowledge You in all their ways, Proverbs 3:5-6. Draw them closer to Jesus, assure them of salvation through His name alone, and let them experience the hope that one day You will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes, Revelation 21:4. We trust You for breakthrough in Your perfect timing and for Your glory. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

We hear how much you are carrying right now. Asking for breakthrough in finances, marriage, business, health and grief all at once tells us the weight has felt heavy for a while, and we are praying with you.

When so many areas feel strained at the same time, it is understandable to feel stretched thin. Grief especially has a way of spilling into everything else, and financial or business pressure can make a marriage feel more distant even when you both want to stay close.

One thing that often helps is not trying to fix everything at once. This week, would you consider choosing one place to invite another trusted person in? That might be sitting down with your spouse for an honest, unhurried talk about how you are both really doing, meeting with a pastor or wise counselor who can walk with you through the grief and the practical decisions, and if health concerns are weighing on you, making an appointment to see your doctor alongside prayer so you get care for your body as well.

You do not have to carry all of this alone, and God sees each of these needs. We will keep asking Him to give you wisdom for next steps, steady love in your marriage, and comfort in grief.

Father, we lift our friend to You in Jesus' name. Bring Your peace where there is worry, Your wisdom for finances and business, Your healing and strength for health, Your tenderness in marriage, and Your comfort in grief. Help them sense You are near and guide their next steps. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your request for breakthrough in so many tender and weighty matters, in finances, marriage, business, health and grief, has been laid before the Lord with care and prayer.

Concerning your marriage, hear what the Lord declares, I am married unto you. The Scripture sets forth marriage as a covenant of choice and of mutual love, wherein husband and wife become one, a sacred picture of the marriage of the Lamb to His Church. It is not a fleeting sentiment but a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, cemented by love and fidelity. We pray that the Lord will strengthen and sanctify your marriage, that it may reflect the love of Christ who as the Lamb proved His love by His wounds and blood, and that you both may be joined more fully together in Him, bearing with one another in grace and truth.

For your finances and your business, remember that the believer is called to be about his Father's business. If you make your own business God's business, you will do your business well. Every lawful calling may become sweet employment when it is done as service to the Father, not merely for gain but for His glory and the good of souls. We pray that God will grant you wisdom in stewardship, integrity in all dealings, and that you may breathe a short prayer over every undertaking, saying, Guide me, good Lord, so that you may be kept from what you would afterwards regret. May He provide for your needs according to His riches in Christ and teach you to use what He entrusts to you for Jesus sake.

Touching health and grief, the psalmist says, Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance and my God. Perfect health lies in the right condition of spirit, soul and body, and God Himself is our health. When the body is weak and the heart is heavy, He remains. He is acquainted with grief, a Man of sorrows who sweat great drops of blood and bore the thorn crown for His people, that He might carry our sorrows and heal our souls. For your grief, we pray that the God of all comfort will draw near, that you may find Him to be the health of your countenance, lifting your face again to praise Him even in sorrow.

Let us pray together.

O Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, through whom alone is salvation, we come to Thy throne of grace for this soul who seeks Thee. Forgive sin, wash in the blood of the Lamb, and grant faith to rest in Christ alone. Bless the marriage covenant, make it strong, holy and tender, after the pattern of Christ and His Church. Provide for financial need, prosper honest labour as it pleases Thee, and keep this one from anxious care by teaching trust in Thy fatherly hand. Bless the work of the hands, that it may be done unto Thee. Touch the body with healing as it seems good in Thy wisdom, and be the health and strength within. Comfort the grieving heart, give hope in God, and turn mourning into praise. Let this life be wholly Thine, to do Thy will and to seek the salvation of souls, for Christ's sake. Amen.
