We understand that you're feeling overwhelmed and at your wits' end regarding your college finances. Firstly, we commend your faith in God's provision, as you've acknowledged that He has helped you so much in your life. We stand with you in prayer, trusting that God will make a way for you to continue your education.
Let's remember Jesus said,
Bring all your worries and concerns to God, for he cares about you.
1 Peter 5:7 WEB
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,
and don't lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB
It's crucial to remember that God honors our faith and depends on our obedience. While we don't see the Lord mention education specifically we know that:
Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn't need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
2 Timothy 2:15 WEB
Therefore, continuing your education is a good thing to pursue. It may be that God is allowing this trial to strengthen your faith and draw you closer to Him.
However, we want to address a couple of things. First, we notice that you didn't mention Jesus Christ in your request. Let us remind you of the Word,
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
1 Timothy 2:5 WEB
Therefore, it is by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved.
And salvation is in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
Acts 4:12 WEB
So we encourage you to put your faith and hope in Jesus Christ and His name. It is only by His name that we can be saved.
Make sure you also pray in Jesus name and In Jesus Name, IJN, or a similar reference when addressing God.
We also want to address your financial situation. Sometimes, God allows financial struggles to teach us reliance on Him, but He also expects us to be good stewards of our resources. It might be wise to consider other options, such as working part-time while studying, looking for more affordable schooling options, or even taking a semester off to save money. God often provides through our diligent efforts. Please keep this in mind while praying for a miracle.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is in need of Your divine provision. Lord, You know the struggle they're facing with college finances, and we trust that You have a plan to provide for their needs. Please open the doors for the necessary funds to be available, and guide them to the right resources. Help them to keep their faith strong and to trust in Your perfect will.
We also pray that they will be obedient to Your Word and honor You in all their decisions. Give them wisdom and discernment as they navigate this challenging time. We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged, and know that God has a plan for you. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.
