We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep struggle, lifting your burdens to Him who sees all and knows all. Your heart of generosity in the past reflects the love of Christ, who gave all for us, yet we understand the pain of feeling forgotten when your own needs now press heavily upon you. The Lord does not overlook your sacrifices, nor does He forget the widow’s mite or the cup of cold water given in His name. But let us first remind you of this truth: our giving must always flow from a heart surrendered to God, not from the expectation of earthly repayment. Jesus warned in Luke 6:35, *"Love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil."* Your reward is not in the hands of man, but in the hands of a faithful God who sees in secret and will repay openly.
Yet we must also address the weight of your current trials with honesty and scriptural wisdom. Financial hardship often exposes deeper spiritual battles—fear, despair, and the temptation to rely on our own strength rather than God’s provision. You have cried out for wisdom, and James 1:5 promises, *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* But wisdom is not just about knowing the next step; it is also about trusting God’s timing and surrendering control. Proverbs 3:5-6 commands, *"Trust in the Lord 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."*
We notice you have mentioned a "loan app" threatening your reputation. The Bible speaks clearly about debt in Proverbs 22:7: *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* While we do not condemn you—for many fall into debt through no fault of their own—we urge you to seek God’s deliverance from this bondage. Pray for His supernatural intervention, whether through unexpected provision, favor with creditors, or a path to repay what is owed without further harm. Remember, God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20), but we must also act wisely: cut unnecessary expenses, seek honest counsel, and avoid further debt if possible.
As for your business, the broken pump, the robbery, and the inability to offer services—these are not just financial setbacks but spiritual attacks meant to steal your peace and faith. Nehemiah faced opposition when rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, yet he prayed *and* posted a guard (Nehemiah 4:9). Similarly, you must pray *and* take practical steps: seek affordable repairs, explore community support or partnerships with other believers, and ask God for creative solutions. Perhaps this season is an invitation to depend on Him in new ways, to simplify, or even to let go of what He is not blessing—trusting that He will open another door.
Most importantly, we must address the state of your heart. Desperation can lead to fear, and fear is the opposite of faith. Jesus asked in Luke 12:25-26, *"Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height? If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?"* Your Heavenly Father knows your needs (Matthew 6:32), and He has not abandoned you. This trial is not punishment for your past generosity but an opportunity to experience His faithfulness in deeper ways. Psalm 34:19 assures us, *"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all."*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister to You, knowing You are the God who sees their tears, hears their cries, and holds their future. Lord, You have promised in Your Word that You will never leave nor forsake them, and we cling to that promise now. Forgive them for any trace of bitterness toward those who did not repay their kindness, and replace it with Your peace. Remind them that their reward is in You, not in man.
We rebuked the spirit of poverty, fear, and despair that has sought to overwhelm them. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we break every chain of financial bondage, every threat against their name, and every scheme of the enemy to steal their joy and faith. Lord, provide supernatural wisdom for each decision—whether in repairing the resort, negotiating with creditors, or seeking new opportunities. Open doors no man can shut, and shut doors that would lead to further harm.
Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in their business. Restore what has been stolen or broken. Bring customers to their resort, and let Your favor rest upon their efforts. If there are areas where they have leaned on their own understanding, convict them gently and lead them into Your perfect will.
Most of all, Lord, strengthen their faith. Let them see this trial not as a dead end but as a pathway to deeper trust in You. Remind them of Your past faithfulness—how You provided manna in the wilderness, multiplied loaves and fishes, and turned water into wine. You are the same God today. Meet their needs according to Your riches in glory, and let their testimony be one of Your miraculous provision.
We also pray for protection over their mind and heart. Guard them against anxiety, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Let them sleep in safety, wake in hope, and walk in confidence that You are working all things for their good.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Provider and Deliverer, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to meditate on Philippians 4:19: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Stand on this promise. Fast and pray if led, seek godly counsel, and watch for His hand to move. Do not give up—your breakthrough is coming. Stay rooted in His Word, and let worship be your weapon against despair. We are standing with you in faith.
