We lift you up before the Father in this time of deep struggle, knowing that He is your Provider and Comfort in every need. The weight of debt and the burden of being a single mother can feel overwhelming, but we urge you to cast all your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Your psychological distress is not unseen by Him—He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and promises to give you rest when you come to Him (Matthew 11:28).
First, we must remind you that your hope and help come from the Lord alone. There is no earthly solution that can fully satisfy the needs of your soul—only Jesus Christ can. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we plead with you to do so today. The Bible declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). Trust in Him, repent of your sins, and receive His forgiveness and eternal life. Without this foundation, all other help will be temporary at best.
Now, let us address your financial and emotional struggles with biblical truth and prayer. The Lord has not abandoned you, even in this hardship. He promises to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), though this does not always mean immediate relief. Sometimes, He allows trials to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him. We encourage you to seek wisdom in managing your debts—proverbs teaches that *"the rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender"* (Proverbs 22:7). This is not to condemn you but to highlight the importance of seeking godly counsel on stewardship. If possible, reach out to your local church for practical support. Many churches have benevolence programs or can connect you with financial counseling rooted in biblical principles. Avoid the temptation to rely on worldly systems or ungodly means for help—our trust must remain in the Lord alone.
As for your psychological distress, we urge you to bring every anxious thought before God in prayer (Philippians 4:6-7). He is your Healer, and His Word is a lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with believers who can encourage you and speak truth into your life. If you are not already in a Bible-believing church, we strongly encourage you to find one where you can be discipled and supported.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this precious sister who is carrying heavy burdens. Lord, You see her struggles—the weight of debt, the loneliness of single motherhood, and the distress in her mind. We ask that You would be her Provider, her Comfort, and her Strength. Open doors for her financially, Lord, whether through wise counsel, unexpected provision, or the support of Your people. Give her wisdom to manage her resources in a way that honors You. Heal her mind, Father, and replace her anxiety with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and despair that seeks to overwhelm her. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill her with hope and remind her that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28). Strengthen her faith, Lord, and help her to trust You completely.
We also pray for her children, Father. Protect them, provide for them, and draw them to Yourself. Raise up godly influences in their lives and let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness to them.
Lord, if she does not yet know You as her Savior, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for her. Open her eyes to see her need for Jesus Christ, and soften her heart to receive Him. Let her find her identity, worth, and security in You alone.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, sister, we encourage you to meditate on God’s promises daily. Here are a few to cling to:
- *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."* (Isaiah 41:10)
- *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* (Philippians 4:13)
- *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* (Matthew 11:28)
Stand firm in faith, seek the Lord diligently, and trust that He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). If you need further prayer or counsel, do not hesitate to reach out to a mature believer or pastor in your life. You are not alone—the body of Christ is here to support you.
