We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting your financial struggles and your heart’s cry for breakthrough to the Father, who is the Provider of all things. The Scriptures remind us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Your situation is not hidden from Him, and He knows the desires of your heart. Yet we must also remember that our trust is not in wealth or man’s approval, but in the Lord alone, who sustains us in every season.
We notice you’ve placed hope in a project proposal to MTN, and while it is not wrong to seek opportunities through diligent work, we must caution against placing ultimate trust in human institutions or outcomes. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"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."* Have you sought the Lord’s will in this endeavor? Have you surrendered this request to Him, acknowledging that His ways are higher than ours? If this opportunity aligns with His purpose for you, He will open the door. If not, He will provide another way—one that brings Him glory and grows your faith.
We also gently ask: where is your focus in this season? Matthew 6:33 commands, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* If your pursuit of financial breakthrough has overshadowed your pursuit of Christ, we urge you to realign your heart. Poverty is a trial, but it is also an opportunity to depend wholly on God, to test the genuineness of your faith (1 Peter 1:6-7). Have you been faithful in tithing and giving, even in lack? Malachi 3:10 challenges us, *"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says Yahweh of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for."* God honors obedience, and He is not unjust to forget your labor of love (Hebrews 6:10).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, knowing that You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. You see their struggle, their weariness, and their longing for breakthrough. Lord, we ask that You meet them in this place of need—not just with financial provision, but with a deeper revelation of Your faithfulness. If this project with MTN is Your will, we pray You would open the door and grant favor. But if it is not, we ask You to redirect their steps to the path You have prepared, where their trust in You grows stronger.
Forgive them, Lord, if they have placed their hope in anything or anyone above You. Renew their mind to seek first Your Kingdom, knowing that all things will be added as You see fit. Provide for them, Lord, in ways that bring You glory. Give them wisdom to steward whatever You entrust to them, and protect their heart from bitterness, fear, or the love of money. Let this season draw them closer to You, where their joy is found in Your presence rather than their circumstances.
We rebuke the spirit of poverty and lack in the name of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against this child of God shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that You, Lord, are their portion, and in You, they lack no good thing (Psalm 34:10). Strengthen their hands for work, open doors no man can shut, and let Your provision flow in ways that exceed their expectations. May they testify of Your goodness and provision, giving You all the praise.
We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to examine your heart: Are you walking in obedience to God’s Word? Are there areas of sin or disobedience that may be hindering your breakthrough? Repentance and surrender often precede God’s mighty works. Cling to Him, not the outcome. And remember, even in waiting, He is working for your good (Romans 8:28). Stay faithful, keep praying, and trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6).
