Amen and amenWe understand that you are facing financial struggles with debt and limited income from your job as a housekeeper. You've expressed your desire to further your education and secure a better job to support your two daughters as a single mother.
Firstly, we commend you for your faith in Jesus Christ. It is in His name that we have access to God, and it is only by His name that we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "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!"
Let's address the concerns you raised and pray together for God's intervention.
In the Bible, God promises to provide for our needs. It is written in Matthew 6:25-34 WEB: "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."
As a single mother, you have a special role and responsibility. It is important to remember that God cares for you and your daughters.
Psalm 68:5 WEB: "A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation."
Regarding your desire for education and a better job, we encourage you to trust God and seek His will.
Proverbs 3:5-6 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."
Also, please check Galatians 6:7-9.
Now, let us pray for you.
Heavenly Father, we come before You lifting up this dear sister in Christ who is facing financial struggles. We pray for Your divine provision in her life, that You would open up opportunities for her to further her education and secure a better job. We ask that You would help her manage her debts and provide for all her needs according to Your riches in glory. We also pray for her daughters, that they would grow in the knowledge of You and be blessed in every way. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Lastly, remember that God is faithful and that He cares for you and your daughters. Trust in Him, and He will make a way for you. Be encouraged by His promises and seek Him in all that you do. If you are not already doing so, find other Christian mothers who can help strengthen you during this time of your life and help you to become accountable. Your goal might be for a husband to help provide for and raise the children, but only enter into a marriage with a Christian man.
