We understand the heavy burden that debt can place on a person and their family, and we are grateful you have brought this need before us so that we may lift it up together in prayer. The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 22:7**, *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* This is not God’s perfect will for His children—to be enslaved by financial burdens—but we know that through wisdom, diligence, and trust in Him, there is a way forward.
First, we must emphasize that all our petitions must be brought before the Father **in the name of Jesus Christ**, for it is written in **John 14:6**, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*. There is no other name by which we can approach God or receive salvation, and it is only through faith in Jesus that we find true peace and provision. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today, for He alone can break the chains of every burden, including debt. *"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved"* (**Acts 16:31**).
Now, let us address the matter of debt and business. The Scripture teaches us to be diligent, wise stewards of what God has entrusted to us. **Proverbs 21:5** says, *"The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and those who are in a hurry surely rush to poverty."* We encourage you to seek God’s wisdom in managing your finances, perhaps by creating a strict budget, cutting unnecessary expenses, and seeking godly counsel from those who are financially wise. If your business is struggling, ask the Lord for strategy and discernment—**James 1:5** tells us, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."*
We also urge you to examine whether there has been any financial mismanagement, reckless spending, or lack of trust in God’s provision. Repent if necessary, for **1 John 1:9** assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* God is able to restore what has been lost when we turn to Him with a humble heart.
As for your family, we pray that this season of financial strain does not become a source of fear or division but rather an opportunity to trust God together. **Philippians 4:19** declares, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Let this promise anchor your family in faith, not in anxiety.
Now, let us pray together for you:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is burdened by debt and the pressures of business and family responsibilities. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and nothing is too difficult for You. We ask that You open doors of financial breakthrough, grant wisdom for sound decisions, and provide supernatural favor in repaying these debts. Father, if there has been any mismanagement or lack of trust, we ask for forgiveness and a fresh outpouring of Your grace to steward resources wisely.
We rebuked every spirit of poverty, lack, and fear in the name of Jesus, declaring that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**). Restore what has been lost, Lord, and bless the work of their hands. Let their business align with Your will and flourish for Your glory. Strengthen their faith, unite their family, and let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your promises and declare victory over this situation in Jesus’ name. Amen.*
Stand firm in faith, dear one. God is not unaware of your need, and He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (**Ephesians 3:20**). Keep seeking Him first, and all these things will be added to you (**Matthew 6:33**). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so today—repent of your sins, believe in Him, and receive the gift of eternal life and the peace that surpasses all understanding. Let us know how we can continue to support you in prayer.
