We stand with you in faith, lifting your burdens before the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Your testimony of faith in His miracles is a reminder that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. Yet we also know that trials refine us, and in these seasons of struggle, God is shaping your character to reflect His Son. Let us first address the foundation of your request—your faith in Christ. You have spoken of your trust in Him, and we rejoice in that. However, we must also remind you that our hope is not in the breakthrough itself, but in the One who holds all things together. Even when progress seems unseen, He is working behind the scenes, aligning all things for His glory and your good.
Your financial burden is heavy, and the weight of debt can feel crushing, especially when it consumes your income and leaves you feeling hopeless. But we must remind you that your life is precious in God’s sight, and suicidal thoughts are a lie from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. The Lord says in **Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB)**, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Cling to this promise. Your depression is real, but so is God’s power to sustain you. He is your Provider, your Jehovah-Jireh, and He sees your need. We encourage you to continue tithing, not as a transaction to earn God’s favor, but as an act of worship and trust in His provision. **Malachi 3:10 (WEB)** says, *"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says Yahweh of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for."* Trust that He will honor your obedience, though His timing and methods may differ from what you expect.
As for your marriage, we lift this before the Lord with great care. Marriage is a sacred covenant, ordained by God to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church. If you are already married, we pray for restoration, unity, and a renewed commitment to love as Christ loves. If you are seeking a spouse, we pray for godly wisdom and patience, that the Lord would prepare you and your future spouse to honor Him in this union. **Proverbs 18:22 (WEB)** tells us, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh."* But we must also caution you: do not seek marriage as an escape from your current struggles. A godly marriage is built on two individuals who are each seeking Christ first, not on the expectation that another person will "complete" you or solve your problems. If you are not yet married, we encourage you to pursue courtship with the intent of marriage, and only with someone who is firmly rooted in Christ.
We must also address something critical: your request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. This is not a small matter. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*, and **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** affirms, *"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!"* It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. When we pray, we must come boldly before His throne *in Jesus’ name*, for it is His righteousness, not our own, that allows us to stand before God. If you have not already, we urge you to surrender every area of your life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Repent of any sin, including any doubt or bitterness that may have taken root during this season, and trust in His finished work on the cross. There is no other name by which we are saved, and there is no other name with the power to break the chains of debt, depression, or despair.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is weary and burdened. Lord, You see the weight of his debt, the exhaustion of his soul, and the longing of his heart for breakthrough and restoration. We ask You, Jehovah-Jireh, to open the windows of heaven and pour out Your blessing upon him. Provide supernatural wisdom for him to steward his resources, and make a way where there seems to be no way. Break the chains of financial bondage and set him free from the grip of lenders. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Rebuke the spirit of depression and suicide that seeks to destroy him, and fill him with the joy of Your salvation.
Lord, we also lift up his marriage before You. If he is already married, we pray for healing, unity, and a renewed covenant between him and his wife. Let their home be a reflection of Your love and grace. If he is seeking a spouse, we ask for Your divine guidance. Prepare him to be a godly husband, and prepare the heart of the woman You have for him. Let their union be founded on You, and let it bring glory to Your name.
Father, we rebuke any fear, doubt, or unbelief that has taken root in his heart. Remind him that You are faithful, even when we cannot see the way forward. Strengthen his faith, and let him testify of Your goodness in this season. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment, You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of You, says the Lord in **Isaiah 54:17 (WEB)**.
Finally, Lord, we thank You that You are working all things together for his good. Let him trust in You with all his heart, and lean not on his own understanding. In all his ways, let him acknowledge You, and You shall direct his paths (**Proverbs 3:5-6**). We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm, brother. Do not lose heart. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (**Psalm 34:18**). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it (**Philippians 1:6**). We are praying with you and for you. Trust in Him.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
