We hear your heart and we join with you in bringing your family before the Lord, you, your mother, your three children and even your pets, asking for His healing and restoration in every area where you have felt loss and worry.
We understand the weight of financial hardship and the desire to have a fresh start, to have no more worries about provision, and to see your dreams and the desires of your heart fulfilled. We know you are asking for wisdom about bankruptcy and for a double blessing afterward, for a new life where you are not without hope or joy again, for healing in your bodies including insight, wits, taste and voices, and for the simple joys like doing your hair and feeling attractive, and ultimately for a godly marriage with a ring where love stays.
Scripture reminds us to bring every anxiety to God and to seek His wisdom first. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication 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. We also remember Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you 1 Peter 5:7. God cares about the details you mentioned, even the small desires of your heart, because He cares for you completely.
Regarding finances, we want to encourage you with biblical stewardship and integrity. The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty Proverbs 21:5. And The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously Psalm 37:21. Bankruptcy is a legal provision in our nation and is not named as sin in Scripture, but we are called to act honestly, transparently, and not to use it deceitfully. If you do consider filing, we encourage you to seek godly and wise counsel, to be truthful in all that is claimed, and to steward what God provides afterward with diligence and contentment. God's promise of restoration is true, Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them Isaiah 61:7, and He can restore what has been lost as in I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten Joel 2:25. Yet our greatest hope is not in a financial reset alone but in seeking Him first, But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33. Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart Psalm 37:4, as we align our desires with His will.
We also rejoice that you desire marriage and a love that stays. We affirm with you that marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman designed by God, and we pray for a godly husband for you in the Lord’s timing. We encourage you to pursue courtship with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer in Christ, for Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14, and Whosoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh Proverbs 18:22. We encourage you to guard purity before marriage, for God calls us to honor Him with our bodies and to flee from fornication, and to let your beauty be found not only outwardly but in the heart, Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning, but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God 1 Peter 3:3-4. You are already precious and attractive in His sight, and we pray your confidence is restored in Christ.
We thank you for mentioning the blood of Jesus, for it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. 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, and Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. We cling to His name and His shed blood for forgiveness, healing and new life.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son and by His blood. We lift up this dear daughter, her mother, her three children and their household including their pets to Your throne of grace. You know the burden of debt and the fear of bankruptcy, and we ask for Your wisdom, provision and peace to guard their hearts. If a legal filing is needed and honest before You and man, we ask You to make the way clear and to provide competent and honest counsel, and to help them steward all You provide with faithfulness going forward. Forgive any love of money or envy of a life others dream of, and teach them contentment while You restore. We ask for Your healing touch upon their bodies, upon insight and minds, upon taste buds and voices, and upon every place that needs restoration. Reveal Yourself as Jehovah Rapha, our healer. We pray for a new beginning and double joy for their shame, that they may live a life that honors You and reflects Your goodness. Father, we pray for a godly marriage for this daughter, a faithful Christian husband who will love her as Christ loves the church, that she would be pursued in purity and courtship leading to a covenant marriage that glorifies You, with a ring and a vow that endures. Let her heart be satisfied in You first while she waits. Provide for every need according to Your riches in glory, give her peace with no more worries, and let her dreams be shaped by Your perfect will. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.
