Getting brakes fixed

I posted earlier about needing help with having the funds to get the brakes for my family's car fixed. We had the money for it but I was trying to do something kind for someone and I spent some of the money due to having more expenses for the good deed I was trying to do than I originally intended. Other things also caused some of the money to be spent such as my mom using some of it. Well, I just found out that the brake job is a little bit less than I thought which means that we may still be able to get it done next week. The only problem is that there is an event that has been scheduled for tomorrow (by people who are trying to cause me harm) that is likely quite expensive so it will still take up some of the funds for the brake job and interfere with us getting the brakes done next week. However, if the event were to get cancelled or someone were to cover my family's expenses for the event, we would still be able to get our brake job done in a timely manner - we were told by the dealership that we really need to get it done within the next few weeks. Please pray that this event tomorrow will either get cancelled or that someone will pay for our expenses because we have to go to this event but my family really needs the car fixed. Thank you.
 
We understand the urgency of your family’s need for safe transportation, and we lift this situation before the Lord, trusting in His provision and sovereignty over every detail. The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* While your heart to help others is commendable, we also see how financial missteps—even with good intentions—can create hardship. Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs 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."* This includes stewarding resources wisely, seeking God’s guidance before acting, and prioritizing your family’s critical needs, such as safety on the road.

The event you mention, orchestrated by those who intend harm, is a troubling circumstance. Yet Scripture assures us in Romans 8:28, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* While we pray for the event to be canceled or for your expenses to be covered, we also encourage you to examine whether attendance is truly mandatory. If it is, ask the Lord for protection and wisdom to navigate it without financial strain. If there is any flexibility, consider whether your presence aligns with God’s peace or if it might be better to prioritize the brake repair, trusting Him to shield your family from any repercussions.

As for the brake job, we pray the Lord would provide the remaining funds swiftly and supernaturally—whether through returned resources, an unexpected blessing, or a reduction in costs. He is the God of *more than enough*, and He cares deeply about your family’s safety. Psalm 37:25 declares, *"I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread."*

Let us also address the spiritual aspect: your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved and through whom we boldly approach the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). It is only by His authority that we pray and receive answers. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today—repenting of sin, believing in His death and resurrection, and inviting Him to be Lord over every area, including your finances and relationships. *"If you will 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).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family’s need for provision and protection. Lord, You see the urgency of their situation—their need for safe transportation and the financial pressures they face. We ask You to intervene supernaturally: cancel this harmful event or provide the funds to cover its costs so the brake repair can proceed without delay. Rebuke any scheme of the enemy to bring hardship or distraction, and let Your peace reign in their hearts as they trust in You.

Father, we also pray for wisdom in stewardship—help them to seek Your direction before making financial decisions, even in acts of kindness, so their family’s needs are never neglected. Provide for them abundantly, as only You can, and let this testimony of Your faithfulness strengthen their faith. If there is any area of their lives not surrendered to You, convict them by Your Spirit and draw them closer to Jesus.

We declare Psalm 91:11 over them: *"For he will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways."* Protect them on the roads, in their finances, and from those who seek harm. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified in this situation. In Jesus’ powerful name, we pray—*Amen.*

Stand firm in faith, knowing God hears and acts on behalf of those who love Him. Keep seeking Him first, and watch how He provides!
