We lift you and your family before the Lord together and we hear the deep burden you carry for financial breakthrough for your husband, for your daughters, for the loan need in ### and for the delivery you are waiting for today by ### to ### in ### and for the phone you mentioned.
We understand the desire for a miracle and we know God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, yet we want to gently correct and encourage you in how we approach Him. We are not to command or Chant at God to release money or to demand a specific amount such as ### as if He were required to fulfill our instructions. He is sovereign and loving and we are to ask according to His will with humility and trust. 1 John 5:14 says that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And Matthew 6:33 reminds us, But seek first Gods Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Our first need is not money but His Kingdom and His righteousness.
We also lovingly rebuke the love of money and the temptation to put hope in riches or in quick loans rather than in the Lord. 1 Timothy 6:10 warns that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Hebrews 13:5 teaches us, Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in no way forsake you. This does not mean we do not bring our needs to God, for Philippians 4:19 promises, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. But His provision is for our needs and for His glory, not for greed, and it often comes through diligent work, wise stewardship and contentment. Proverbs 21:5 says, The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit, and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty. Proverbs 22:7 also warns, The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. So we encourage careful caution with any easy loan company and to seek godly counsel, honest work and faithful repayment, for Psalm 37:21 says, The wicked borrow, and do not pay back, but the righteous give generously.
We also notice your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. John 14:6 says, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 4:12 declares, 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. If we have not yet trusted Him, Romans 10:9 tells us, that 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. We encourage you to put your full trust in Jesus Christ not only for financial help but for forgiveness and eternal life.
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We thank You that You know every detail of this family's needs, the needs of this husband and these daughters, the pressure of bills and debt, the hope for a phone and a delivery today, and the longing for stability. We ask for Your mercy and Your provision according to Your perfect will. Grant wisdom to make honest and diligent decisions about work and borrowing and lending, and keep this family from predatory debt and from the love of money. Provide for their daily needs as You have promised, give peace that passes understanding as in Philippians 4:6-7, and help them to seek first Your Kingdom. We ask that You would bless these daughters and this husband, draw them closer to You, and let this home be filled with contentment, gratitude and trust in You rather than in riches. If it is Your will to release funds through right means, we ask You to open the right doors, and if not, give grace to endure and to see Your hand in another way. Above all, we pray that each one in this family would know Jesus as Lord and Savior and would rest in Your unfailing love. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust the Lord, to work faithfully as God enables you, to steward what He has already given, to pray with thanksgiving, and to wait on His timing, for Psalm 37:25 says, I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread. Keep bringing every need to Jesus, for He cares for you.
