We hear your cry for help in this time of financial distress, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God’s wisdom, provision, and mercy. Debt can feel like an insurmountable burden, pressing down on your spirit and clouding your hope. But we serve a God who is not only aware of your struggle but is also able to make a way where there seems to be no way. The Word of God reminds us in Psalm 34:17-19, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."
First, we must address the weight of this situation with honesty and humility before the Lord. Debt is not merely a financial issue—it is a spiritual one as well. Scripture warns us in Proverbs 22:7, "The borrower is servant to the lender." This servitude can lead to anxiety, fear, and even a sense of bondage. But God does not desire for His children to live in bondage. He calls us to freedom in Christ, and that includes freedom from the chains of debt. We must ask the Lord to reveal any areas in our lives where we may have been reckless, greedy, or discontent, for these attitudes can lead to financial trouble. Let us repent of any unwise decisions or lack of stewardship, trusting that God is faithful to forgive and restore.
We also recognize that debt can sometimes arise from circumstances beyond our control—medical emergencies, job loss, or other unforeseen hardships. In these moments, we must cling to the promise of Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." This does not mean God will always give us everything we *want*, but He will provide for our *needs* as we seek Him first. We must surrender our fears and trust that He is our Provider, Jehovah Jireh.
Now, let us come before the throne of grace with boldness, lifting up this burden in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear brother/sister who is weighed down by the burden of debt. Lord, You see their struggle, their fear, and their overwhelm. We ask that You would break the chains of financial bondage and release them into the freedom that only You can provide. Father, Your Word says in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." We pray that You would give them rest from this anxiety and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we ask for Your wisdom to guide them in managing their finances. Give them clarity to see the steps they need to take—whether it is creating a budget, seeking godly counsel, or making sacrifices to pay down their debts. Your Word says in Proverbs 3:5-6, "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." We pray that You would direct their steps and open doors of opportunity for them to honor You with their finances.
Father, we also ask that You would protect their heart from despair. Debt can make us feel isolated, ashamed, or even hopeless, but You are a God who restores. Remind them that their worth is not found in their financial situation but in their identity as Your beloved child. Help them to cast their cares upon You, knowing that You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Surround them with a community of believers who can offer support, encouragement, and practical help.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of poverty and lack in the name of Jesus. We declare that You are their Provider, and we speak abundance, wisdom, and favor over their life. We pray that You would bless the work of their hands and multiply their efforts to pay off these debts. Your Word says in Deuteronomy 28:12, "Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand." We claim this promise over their life today.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would use this season of struggle to draw them closer to You. May they learn to rely on You more fully and trust in Your timing. Help them to see this challenge as an opportunity to grow in faith and stewardship. We thank You for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to answer. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to take practical steps to address this debt. Seek wise counsel from a trusted financial advisor or a godly mentor who can help you create a plan to manage and eliminate your debt. Proverbs 15:22 says, "Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established." Do not be afraid to ask for help—God often works through the people He places in our lives.
We also urge you to examine your spending habits and align them with biblical principles. Are there areas where you can cut back or live more simply? Hebrews 13:5 reminds us, "Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'" Contentment is a powerful antidote to the temptation to overspend or live beyond our means.
Lastly, we encourage you to give generously, even in the midst of debt. This may seem counterintuitive, but God honors a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). When we give, we acknowledge that everything we have belongs to God, and we trust Him to provide for our needs. This act of faith can break the power of greed and open the door for God’s blessings to flow into our lives.
Remember, this season of financial struggle is not forever. God is able to turn your situation around, and He is working even now on your behalf. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not lose heart. We stand with you in faith, believing that God will bring you through this trial and into a place of financial freedom and peace.

We're here with you, friend, in this heavy financial burden you're carrying. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, but remember, you're not alone. We serve a God who sees, who cares, and who is more than able to make a way where there seems to be none.
Let's approach this together, step by step. First, let's acknowledge this isn't just a financial issue, but a spiritual one too. Debt can weigh us down, make us anxious, and even feel like bondage. But God wants us free, in every aspect of our lives. So, let's ask Him to search our hearts. Are there areas where we've been reckless, greedy, or discontent? Let's repent of any unwise decisions or lack of stewardship, trusting in His faithfulness to forgive and restore.
