We hear your distress and we join with you in bringing this heavy burden to the Lord, for we know you are feeling anxious, ashamed, and afraid of failing your family after this dream about your cousin feeling down and depressed and believing you do not want to help him, and the painful situation where you feel you have been made to look like a liar because promised money was never sent.

We want to gently remind you that our access to God the Father is only through Jesus Christ His Son. You said Lord answer quick, and we know you are crying out to God, but we want to make sure you know the power and hope that is in the name of Jesus. Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12 it says 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 you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ, believing He died for your sins and rose again, confessing Him as Lord, for in Romans 10:9 it says 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. It is in His name we pray and find peace.

We also want to lovingly address the issue of lying and being made to appear as a liar, because this is at the heart of your pain. The Bible is very clear that God desires truthfulness from His people. In Ephesians 4:25 it says Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. And in Colossians 3:9 it says Do not lie to one another. Even when a lie is not originally yours, if you repeated a promise that was not kept, it can damage trust and make others feel deceived. We must rebuke all lying and deception, and we encourage you to walk in truth. In Matthew 5:37 let your Yes be Yes and your No be No. It is far better to speak honestly about what you can and cannot do, even if it is difficult, than to let others believe something that may not happen. If you have made a promise you cannot keep because another person did not provide the money, go to your family in humility and explain the truth with love, ask for forgiveness for any part you played, and commit to being truthful going forward.

We understand the fear of failing your family and the pressure to find a quick solution. God sees your heart to help and not to let your people down. He is our provider and our wisdom. In Philippians 4:19 it says My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. And in James 1:5 it says But 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. We encourage you to cast this anxiety on Him rather than carrying it alone. In 1 Peter 5:7 it says casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. And in Philippians 4:6-7 it says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

Your dream has left you troubled, but dreams do not determine the future. God is near to those who are hurting. For your cousin who feels down and depressed, we know God is close to him as well, for in Psalm 34:18 it says Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. And in Proverbs 3:5-6 it says Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your mercy and help for our dear one who is burdened and anxious. Lord, we ask You to calm this troubled heart and replace fear and shame with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Forgive any falsehood that has been spoken and help Your child to walk in complete truth and integrity before family. Heal the hurt between cousins and restore trust where it has been broken. Comfort the cousin who is feeling down and depressed, let him know he is loved and not abandoned. Provide wisdom to find a godly solution regarding this money and family need, and provide for every true need according to Your riches in glory. Help our friend to not lean on quick fixes or the promises of others, but to trust in You to make the path straight and to give the words to speak honestly in love. Let this situation be turned for good and for Your glory, and let Your will be done quickly according to Your perfect timing. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.

We encourage you to go to your family with honesty, to pray continually for wisdom, and to trust that God will not let you be put to shame as you walk in truth and depend on Him. He is faithful and He cares deeply for you and for your family.

We hear how heavy this felt to wake up from that dream carrying worry for your cousin and fear of letting your family down. Feeling like you look dishonest because money you were counting on from someone else did not come is a painful place to be, especially when someone you care about is feeling low and discouraged.

It makes sense you want an answer quickly. Dreams often bring our daytime worries to the surface, and it sounds like yours is showing how torn you feel between wanting to help your cousin and being stuck in the middle of a promise about money that was not yours to control.

One steady next step that may help is to separate what you can do from what you cannot. You cannot make someone else send money, but you can speak honestly and kindly on both sides. When you are able, consider checking in with your cousin directly while awake, just to listen and let him know you care without needing to have every solution in that one conversation. And separately, try to get a clear, calm update from ### and her dad about the money so you know what is true and can explain it plainly, rather than carrying the blame alone.

If your cousin continues to feel very low, gently encourage him to talk with a trusted pastor, family member or counselor alongside prayer.

Father, we lift this family to You, the confusion over money and the discouragement weighing on his cousin. Give our friend wisdom for honest words, peace in not carrying what is not his to carry, and comfort for his cousin. Guide him toward a clear next step. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has been heard, and the burden that woke you in the night is not hidden from the Lord who watches over His people.

You speak of shame, of fearing to look foolish before your family, of a promise of money that was not kept, and of a cousin who is cast down and feels unloved and forsaken. These things press heavily, and it is right that you should bring them quickly to the throne of grace, for our God is a God who hears the cry of the troubled heart.

There are two things set before you which must not be separated. The first is guilt and the second is guile. When the Son takes away guilt by His precious blood, the Spirit takes away guile from the heart. It is a common temptation, when our means are straitened or our promises cannot be kept, to make a show of prosperity or to cover a failure with a lie, as a man in business may reckon doubtful things as sure in order to keep up his credit. But this is not the way of the blessed man in whom there is no guile. The blessed man confesses his sin and humbles himself before God, and he does the same before men. If you have been made to appear as one who has spoken falsely, whether by your own hasty word or by the failure of others who promised to send help, go not about to cover it with another untruth. Speak plainly and in lowliness. Let your yes be yes. It is better to bear a little shame now and to be found truthful, than to add lie to lie and to wound your conscience and your cousin also.

Shame itself, though bitter, may be overruled for good if it drives us to seek the name of the Lord. Many have been brought to Christ when they lost good opinion of themselves and when they feared they had lost the good opinion of others. Let your present sense of weakness bring you not to despair, but to the cross. There upon that hill outside the city wall hangs the glory of the universe, the Son of God bleeding and dying, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. All His travail, all His shame and spitting, and above all His death, has merit sufficient to put away all transgression. It is written, the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If by faith you trust that atonement which covers all guilt, you are among the blessed, and that same grace will teach you to forsake guile.

He is the God of peace, and He has prepared everything necessary for a perfect reconciliation. He was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. That reconciliation you may know in your own soul, and you may also seek it in your family. Go to your cousin who is downcast and depressed. Let him know you have not forgotten him and do not despise him. Tell him the simple truth about the money, that it has not come, that you are grieved, and that you desire to do what is right before God and before him. Do not promise what you cannot perform. Commit your way unto the Lord and ask Him to provide what is needful in His wisdom, whether by opening another door or by giving you both contentment until He does provide.

Do not think that the Lord will fail you if you walk in truth. He who blots out sin as a cloud will also give grace for the present trial. Pray thus, and act thus, and leave the outcome with Him.

May the Lord grant you a quiet mind, a truthful tongue, and a heart stayed upon Christ. May He lift up your cousin from his heaviness and show him that he is not forsaken, for the Lord is near to them that are of a broken heart. May He forgive all guile and guilt through the blood of the Lamb, and may He reconcile your family in love and honesty, to the praise of His grace.

We will pray for you, that you may not fail your family through falsehood, but may find a true and honest solution quickly, as the Lord in His mercy shall direct, and that all may seek His name and be satisfied in Him.
