We join with you in lifting up this financial burden before the Lord, knowing that He is our Provider and the One who holds all things in His hands. Your testimony of calling upon the name of Jesus throughout your day is a beautiful reminder of His faithfulness—how He hears us and moves on our behalf when we seek Him. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, and we rejoice with you in the small but mighty ways He has already shown His care for you. As Scripture declares, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). Your heart of gratitude even in the midst of this trial is a testament to your trust in Him, and we are encouraged by your faith.
Tomorrow’s call with the CRA is indeed significant, but we must remember that our trust is not in the approval of man but in the Lord, who *"supplies seed to the sower and bread for food; who will supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and will increase the fruits of your righteousness"* (2 Corinthians 9:10, WEB). We pray that the Lord will soften the hearts of those your husband speaks with, granting them an open mind and a spirit of cooperation. May they extend grace and favor far beyond what you could ask or imagine, for our God is able to do *"exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"* (Ephesians 3:20, WEB).
We also pray for your husband, that the Lord will fill him with wisdom and clarity of speech, just as He did for Moses when he stood before Pharaoh. *"Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say"* (Exodus 4:12, WEB). May the words he speaks be seasoned with grace and truth, and may the Lord guide every detail of this conversation for your good and His glory. Even now, we rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or discouragement that may try to creep in. The Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of *"power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Stand firm in that truth, knowing that He who began this good work in you will bring it to completion.
Financial struggles can feel overwhelming, but we must also take this opportunity to examine our hearts and stewardship. Are there areas where the Lord may be calling you to trust Him more fully, to surrender control, or to adjust your priorities? *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). This is not a time for despair but for drawing nearer to Him, allowing this trial to refine your faith and deepen your dependence on His provision.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts full of gratitude for Your faithfulness and provision. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust in Your perfect timing and wisdom. We lift up this financial burden to You, asking that You would move mightily in tomorrow’s call with the CRA. Soften the hearts of those in authority, Lord, and grant them a spirit of generosity and willingness to work with this family. Give our brother the right words to speak, filled with wisdom and grace, and let every decision made align with Your will.
Lord, we ask that You would provide a way where there seems to be no way. Open doors that no man can shut and make a path straight before them. We rebuke any scheme of the enemy to bring fear, confusion, or delay. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Remind them that their worth and security are found in You alone, not in their financial circumstances.
We thank You, Father, for the ways You have already moved in this situation. You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. Strengthen their faith as they wait on You, and let this trial be a testimony of Your goodness and provision. May they continue to seek You first in all things, trusting that You will supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory.
We pray all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear sister. The Lord is with you, and He will not forsake you. Keep calling on the name of Jesus, for there is power in His name. We will continue to lift you up in prayer, trusting that God will bring resolution and peace to this situation. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). Rest in that promise today.
