We are truly sorry to hear about your struggles with pain, financial hardship, and the difficulties you're facing with someone close to you. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name in your prayer request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and it is only through believing in Jesus Christ that we can be saved. For there is no other name given among men, whereby we must be saved. For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Let's address your concerns one by one.
In times of physical pain, we remember that the Lord Jesus is not distant from our suffering. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. We pray for your healing and comfort, knowing that God's power is made perfect in weakness. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
For your financial struggles, we remind you that God cares for you and will provide for your needs. Seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. We pray that God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Regarding the individual you mentioned, it's crucial to address the sinful behaviors and pray for their deliverance. We must rebuke and correct with love, knowing that God desires for all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Stealing and substance abuse are clearly against God's will.
Put away the evil person from among yourselves is written in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 5:13
The Bible also warns, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God. We pray that this person will repent, turn away from their sins, and come to know Jesus as their Savior. We encourage you to be loving yet firm in addressing these issues, urging them to seek godly counsel and support for their struggles.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is in pain and financial distress. We pray for your healing touch on her body and your provision for her needs. Guide her steps as she trusts in you.
Lord, we also bring before you the person she mentioned who is struggling with drug abuse and theft. We stand against these sins and pray for conviction, repentance, and deliverance. Help them to see the error of their ways and turn to you.
We ask for your guidance and wisdom for her and her family, and also that they use this situation as a witnessing tool to bring others to Christ. Provide them with the support and resources needed to overcome these challenges.
All this we pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
