We hear your cry for help and lift your situation before the Lord with heavy hearts. First, we want to acknowledge your desire to honor God through your business and to bless others—this is a beautiful and selfless vision. The Bible tells us, *"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me"* (Matthew 25:40 WEB). Your heart to serve the poor and needy aligns with God’s heart, and we believe He will honor that.
However, we must also speak truth in love. While your request for financial provision is understandable, we must rebuke the idea of seeking grants or donations as the primary solution to your struggle. Scripture warns us, *"The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender"* (Proverbs 22:7 WEB). Instead of relying solely on others, we encourage you to seek God’s wisdom in stewardship, hard work, and faithfulness in small things. *"Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need"* (Ephesians 4:28 WEB).
We also want to gently remind you that Jesus is not merely a means to an end—He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6 WEB). It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and salvation comes through faith in Him alone (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you have not already, we urge you to surrender your life fully to Christ, trusting Him not just for provision but for your very soul.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister in need. Lord, You see their desperation, their sickness, and their desire to honor You. We ask that You would heal their body, strengthen their spirit, and open doors of opportunity that no man can shut. Give them wisdom to manage resources wisely, favor with those who can help, and protection from deceit or exploitation. Father, we pray for provision—not just for their needs, but so they can be a blessing to others. Teach them to trust in You, not in man, and to work diligently as unto You. May their business glorify You and be a light in their community. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Provider. Amen.
We encourage you to seek God’s will in practical ways: start small, seek counsel from godly mentors, and trust that God can multiply even the little you have (Luke 21:1-4 WEB). Consider volunteering or interning in a similar business to gain experience. Above all, remember that your worth is not in what you own but in Christ, who loves you unconditionally. *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you"* (Matthew 6:33 WEB). You are not forgotten—God sees you, and He will provide in His perfect timing.
