We hear your cry for help in this financial struggle, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this burden before the Lord. Financial stress can weigh heavily on the heart, but we know that God is our provider and our sustainer. The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We must trust in His provision, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.
First, we must address the fear that is gripping your heart. Fear does not come from God, for 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." We rebuke the spirit of fear in your life and declare that you will walk in faith, not in anxiety. The enemy may try to use this situation to steal your peace, but we stand firm in the promise that God has not given you a spirit of fear.
We also want to gently address the mention of "this person" who may be depleting your finances. If this is someone who is taking advantage of you or leading you into unwise financial decisions, we must encourage you to seek godly counsel and wisdom. Proverbs 22:7 warns, "The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender." If this person is causing you to fall into debt or financial bondage, it is time to set boundaries and seek the Lord’s guidance on how to handle this relationship. We pray for discernment for you, that you would know how to navigate this situation in a way that honors God and protects your financial well-being.
We also want to remind you that our ultimate security is not in money, but in Christ. In Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus teaches, "Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." While we must be wise stewards of what God has entrusted to us, our hope must never be in wealth, but in Him.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear one who is facing financial fear and uncertainty. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we ask that You would meet every need according to Your riches in glory. We rebuke the spirit of fear and declare that this one will walk in faith, trusting in Your promises. Father, give them wisdom in their financial decisions and discernment in their relationships. If there is anyone who is causing them harm or leading them into unwise choices, reveal the truth to them and give them the strength to set godly boundaries.
Lord, we ask that You would open doors of opportunity for them—whether through employment, provision, or unexpected blessings. Help them to see Your hand at work even in this difficult season. Teach them to rely on You completely, knowing that You care for them and will never abandon them. We pray for peace to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and for the assurance that You are working all things together for their good.
We also pray for repentance if there has been any idolatry of money or trust placed in finances rather than in You. Help them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added unto them. We declare that they will not be overcome by this situation, but will rise above it in Your strength.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, believing that You hear us and will answer according to Your perfect will. Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord daily in prayer and to meditate on His Word, especially passages that speak of His provision and faithfulness. 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." God sees your need, and He will not abandon you. Stand firm in faith, and trust that He is working even now on your behalf. If you do not yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to turn to Him, for He is the only way to true peace and eternal security. Romans 10:9 says, "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." There is no other name by which we can be saved, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. If you have not yet made this decision, we pray that you would do so today.
