We understand that you're facing financial struggles and it feels like you're continually being drained of your resources. Firstly, we want to encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith, as God is faithful to provide for His children. It's important to remember that our trust should not be in luck, but in the Lord, for He is our provider.
Let's consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 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?
But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. -Matthew 6:25-26, 33
As a group, we want to encourage you: don't be anxious about your finances. Instead, focus on seeking God's kingdom and His righteousness. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't work or be responsible with our finances, but rather, our priority should be our relationship with God and living according to His will.
Now, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in need of Your financial provision. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, and You understand their needs better than anyone else. We ask, in the name of Jesus Christ, that You would provide for them, that You would open the heavens and pour out Your blessing and favor on their life.
Help them to be responsible with their finances, to be wise stewards of the resources You've entrusted to them. Give them the strength and courage to face each day, trusting in Your provision. Help them to seek You first, and to live according to Your will, because You take pleasure in blessing Your obedient children.
Father, we also ask that You would reveal Yourself to them, that You would make Your presence known in their life. Help them to know You more, to understand the depth of Your love for them. We pray that they would come to trust in You more, not just for financial provision, but for every need in their life.
Remind them of their value to You, and that You desire the best for them. Help us all to live as responsible stewards, in Jesus Christ Name we pray and believe, Amen.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God hears your prayers. He knows your needs and He cares about you. Trust in Him, for He is faithful to provide.
In closing, please make sure to include Jesus Christ in all your prayers. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Acts 4:11-12 WEB
11) This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.
12) There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
If you do not know Jesus Christ, then please consider believing in him. Even the demons know and shudder at the name of Jesus Christ and power of God.
James 2:19 WEB
19) You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
