We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent cry for help. Financial struggles can weigh so heavily on the soul, and we understand the despair that can creep in when the future feels uncertain. But we want to remind you—and ourselves—that our God is Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides (Genesis 22:14). He sees your need, He hears your prayers, and He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
First, we must address the darkness of suicidal thoughts with the light of Scripture. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Your life is precious in God’s sight, and He has a purpose for you that the enemy cannot thwart. We rebuke those lies of hopelessness in the name of Jesus and declare that God’s plans for you are plans for good, not for harm, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). If these thoughts persist, we strongly encourage you to reach out to a trusted pastor, counselor, or Christian brother or sister who can walk with you through this valley. You are not alone.
Now, let us pray together for your financial breakthrough, trusting not in our own efforts but in the Lord’s provision:
Heavenly Father, we come before You as Your children, acknowledging that every good and perfect gift comes from You (James 1:17). Lord, we lift up this dear one who is facing acute financial distress. You know the depth of their need—You know the bills that weigh on their mind, the lack of shelter that troubles their heart, and the fear that threatens to overwhelm. But we declare that You are their Provider, their Shepherd, and their Strong Tower. We ask, Lord, that You open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it (Malachi 3:10). Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
Father, we ask for wisdom in managing what You entrust to them. Give them discernment to make godly decisions, to seek honest work, and to steward their resources wisely (Proverbs 3:5-6). If there are areas where they have not been faithful with little, show them how to align their finances with Your principles so that You can entrust them with more (Luke 16:10-12). We also pray for doors of opportunity to open—whether through employment, creative solutions, or divine connections—that will lead to stability and provision.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of lack and poverty in the name of Jesus. We declare that this one is not cursed but blessed, for Christ has redeemed them from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13). We speak life over their finances and declare that they will lend and not borrow, that they will be the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:12-13). Strengthen their faith to trust You even when the bank account is empty, for You are their Source, not their circumstances.
And Father, we ask that You would heal their heart from the anxiety and fear that comes with financial struggle. Remind them that You care for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, and how much more do You care for them (Matthew 6:25-34)? Help them to cast all their cares upon You, for You sustain them (1 Peter 5:7). Surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and fill them with hope as they wait on You.
We also want to gently encourage you to examine your heart and life in this season. Are there areas where God is calling you to repentance or realignment? Sometimes financial struggles can be a result of disobedience, poor stewardship, or ungodly priorities. We are not saying this is the case for you, but we know that God disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:6), and He may be using this trial to draw you closer to Him. Ask Him to search your heart and reveal anything that needs to be surrendered to Him (Psalm 139:23-24).
Finally, we want to remind you that your worth is not found in your bank account, your possessions, or even your home. Your worth is found in Christ, who loved you and gave Himself for you (Galatians 2:20). If you have never placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. The Bible says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have already made this decision, we encourage you to draw near to God, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8).
We stand with you in faith, believing that God will make a way where there seems to be no way. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). We will continue to pray for you, trusting that the Lord will move mightily on your behalf.
