We have read your request and we lift you up before the Lord together, asking for His mercy, provision, and guidance in this difficult season. We understand the burden you carry with limited ability to work, ongoing debts, a learning disability, health needs concerning your organs, and the desire to move overseas and fulfill goals you hold dear. We want you to know that your worth before God is not measured by academics, education, or ability, for you are fearfully and wonderfully made, Psalm 139:14, and He sees and values you deeply.
We also notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we must lovingly speak to this because it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6. 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. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, confessing Him as Lord, Romans 10:9, so that your prayers are heard and your future is secure in Him. It is in His name that we pray and seek provision.
We must also address in love your reliance on buying a lotto ticket with what little money you have. We understand the desperation that can lead to this, but we must rebuke the idea that gambling is God's way of provision. Scripture teaches us that wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by labor will increase, Proverbs 13:11, and that the plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty, Proverbs 21:5. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, 1 Timothy 6:10, and the lotto encourages a love of chance rather than trust in God's faithful provision and diligent stewardship. God does not call us to test Him through chance, but to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, Matthew 6:33. We encourage you to steward even the small amount you have with wisdom and not risk it on the lottery, trusting that God honors faithfulness with little.
Your desire not to take loans or borrow further while still having debts is wise and honors God, for the scriptures say owe no one anything, except to love one another, Romans 13:8, and the wicked borrow, and do not pay back, Psalm 37:21. We commend your honesty in this. We also commend you for continuing to train as you are able. God says if anyone will not work, neither let him eat, 2 Thessalonians 3:10, but He also understands our limitations and provides grace for our weakness. Your diligence in training within your limits is pleasing to Him, and we pray He will open doors for work that fits your abilities and health, even if it is small or part time, and that He will give you wisdom, for 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, James 1:5.
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You on behalf of our friend. We ask that You supply every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19. Lord, You know the financial pressure, the debts, the inability to work fully, and the health needs concerning organs that need healing or treatment. We ask for Your healing hand upon the body, for wisdom for doctors, and for clear guidance about moving overseas, whether it is Your will and the best path for health and goals. We ask that You provide in a way that brings glory to You, not through gambling, but through Your own faithful provision, through work, through help from Your people, and through doors only You can open. Give peace, give hope, for You know the thoughts You think toward us, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give hope and a future, Jeremiah 29:11. Help our friend to trust You daily, to seek You first, to be diligent with what is in hand, and to find contentment and direction in Christ. Lead to godly counsel in a local church family who can walk alongside practically and spiritually. Above all, draw this dear one closer to Jesus, that salvation, peace, and provision would be found in Him. We agree together for these things in Jesus name, amen.
We encourage you to bring your needs daily to the Lord, to seek counsel from a Bible believing church for practical help and job guidance, to use what little you have with faithful stewardship, and to turn from trusting in the lottery to trusting in the living God who cares for you. He is able to make a way where there seems to be no way, and He loves you more than you know.
