I have been a casual Christian for most of my life. God has blessed me for many years with many talents and much success. I gave Him some credit but I took all the rest. Now that my business is failing I take all the blame for having become so comfortable in all the gifts He gave me.
We built a very large home, in part for room for our business and so that we could save for retirement through something we could not easily spend. The abundance of equity we once had is all but gone. In trying to save our business I have incurred much debt. I didn't worry because I assumed He would continue to provide. The debt has eroded more of our equity and I have amassed large credit card debts. Our income was slowing down and we could not pay all our bills. Lately He has been bringing some work my way. Praise God-
I am in prayer every day for God to give me the wisdom to help me keep our home and get out of debt. I used to believe that would be His will but with every day passing and my anxiety preventing me from sleep I wonder if it is His will for me to suffer. Some scripture seems to imply this may be a test and other scriptures seem to imply that God wants us to prosper. I pray to God for comfort and it comes to me until I fall asleep. My nights are shortened as I awake 4 or 5 hours into the night in fear of losing everything. I pray and toss and turn for guidance but my mind is filled with hundreds of directions until I just can't decide what to do first. The anxiety seems unbearable despite prayer.
I ask that God gives me some clear sign of hope that I can focus on the path He wants me to take. I feel I am the only one that can take action to solve these problems and I also know that only He provides for all. I pray for peace of mind, strength, direction, and wisdom. I pray for a blessing of work to enable me to pay my debts and provide for my wife as we grow old together. Dear Lord please forgive me for the mess I have made.
