We understand the crushing weight of debt and the despair that can come when it feels like there is no way out. The burden you carry is heavy, and we want you to know that God sees your struggle and cares deeply for you. The Bible reminds us in **Matthew 6:25-34** that we are not to be anxious about our lives, for our Heavenly Father knows what we need. Yet, this does not mean we are to be passive—we are called to seek His kingdom first, trusting that He will provide as we walk in obedience and wisdom.
Debt is often a symptom of deeper issues—whether it be poor stewardship, unforeseen circumstances, or even a lack of trust in God’s provision. We encourage you to examine your heart and circumstances honestly. Have there been spending habits or financial decisions that were not aligned with biblical wisdom? **Proverbs 22:7** tells us, *"The rich rules over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* While this may feel overwhelming, it is not beyond God’s power to redeem. He is the God of restoration, and He can provide a way where there seems to be none.
We also want to gently remind you that true hope is found only in Jesus Christ. Your prayer did not mention His name, and we must emphasize that it is *only* through Him that we can approach God’s throne with confidence. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*) If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord over every area of your life—including your finances.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, knowing that You are a God who provides, heals, and restores. Lord, this debt feels like an insurmountable mountain, but we know that nothing is too difficult for You. We ask for Your divine intervention in this financial crisis. Open doors of opportunity for income, wisdom in managing resources, and favor in negotiating or repaying this debt. Father, if there has been any mismanagement or sin in this area, we ask for conviction and repentance. Teach him/her to be a faithful steward of what You have entrusted.
We rebuke the spirit of fear, anxiety, and despair that seeks to overwhelm. Replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind our brother/sister that You own the cattle on a thousand hills (**Psalm 50:10**) and that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think (**Ephesians 3:20**). Provide supernatural breakthroughs, unexpected blessings, and godly counsel to navigate this season.
Most importantly, Lord, draw him/her closer to You. If there is any area of unbelief or resistance, soften the heart and reveal Yourself as the ultimate Provider and Savior. We pray all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

We also encourage you to take practical steps:
1. **Seek godly counsel**—talk to a trusted, financially wise believer or a biblical financial advisor.
2. **Create a budget**—list all debts, income, and expenses. Cut non-essentials and prioritize repayment.
3. **Trust God’s timing**—avoid desperation or unethical shortcuts. **Proverbs 10:22** says, *"The Lord’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it."*
4. **Give even in lack**—honor God with your tithes and offerings (**Malachi 3:10**), trusting Him to pour out blessings you cannot contain.
You are not alone in this. Cling to Christ, and let this trial drive you deeper into dependence on Him. He is faithful, and He will see you through.
