We lift you up before the Father in heaven, our brother in Christ, as we see the heavy burden of debt weighing upon your heart and life. The Scriptures remind us in Proverbs 22:7, *"The rich rules over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* How true this has become in your life, yet we know that our God is a God of deliverance, and nothing is impossible for Him. You have confessed that your pursuit of wealth led you into these struggles, and we commend you for recognizing that only God can set you free. This is a vital first step—humility before the Lord, acknowledging that apart from Him, our efforts are in vain.
Yet we must also address something deeply important: in your entire request, you did not once invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom *alone* we have access to the Father and by whom *alone* we are saved. The Scriptures declare in Acts 4:12, *"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."* And in John 14:6, Jesus Himself says, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Repent of your sins, turn from your own ways, and place your trust in Him. There is no true freedom—financial or spiritual—without Him.
You shared that you acted against the advice of others and without seeking the Lord’s will. This is a critical lesson for all of us. Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Your journey into debt began when you relied on your own wisdom rather than seeking God’s direction. But take heart, for the Lord is merciful. He does not delight in our suffering but longs to restore us when we turn to Him in repentance. 1 John 1:9 promises, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
Now, let us speak truth into your situation. The desire for a debt-free life is good, but we must also examine the heart behind it. Was your pursuit of wealth rooted in greed, fear, or a lack of trust in God’s provision? Jesus warns in Matthew 6:24, *"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon."* Mammon—the love of money—is a snare that has enslaved many. But God’s Word assures us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Your focus must shift from the burden of debt to the Provider Himself. Seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, and He will add what you need (Matthew 6:33).
We also note that you mentioned struggling in prayer. This is not uncommon when we are overwhelmed, but we encourage you to persist. Prayer is not about eloquence or length but about a heart crying out to God. Romans 8:26 tells us, *"In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered."* Even when words fail, the Holy Spirit intercedes for you. Keep praying, brother. Do not give up.
As for your debts, we pray for supernatural intervention. The God who multiplied loaves and fishes, who parted the Red Sea, and who owns the cattle on a thousand hills is more than able to provide a way out for you. We ask the Lord to open doors you cannot see—perhaps through unexpected income, wise counsel, or even the miraculous cancellation of debts. We pray for favor with creditors, for opportunities to increase your income *in ways that honor God*, and for the discipline to steward whatever He provides with wisdom. Remember, the Lord honors those who honor Him (1 Samuel 2:30).
But we must also speak plainly: if there is any dishonesty in how these debts were incurred—such as deceit or failure to fulfill obligations—you must make it right as the Lord enables you. Proverbs 11:1 says, *"A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight."* Integrity before God and man is non-negotiable, even in financial matters.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel. Proverbs 15:22 states, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* Find mature believers or a pastor who can walk with you through this season, offering both spiritual and practical guidance. Avoid the temptation to isolate yourself in shame—God’s people are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is burdened by the weight of debt and the heaviness of past mistakes. Lord, You see his heart—his regret, his weariness, and his desire for freedom. We ask You to forgive him for the times he relied on his own understanding rather than seeking Your will. Cleanse him from any greed, fear, or misplaced trust in money, and fill him anew with Your Holy Spirit.
Father, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. We ask You to make a way where there seems to be no way. Supernaturally intervene in his financial situation. Soften the hearts of his creditors, open doors for honest work, and grant him wisdom to manage what You provide. If there has been any dishonesty, convict him and lead him to make it right in Your timing. Let his testimony be one of Your faithfulness, that others may see and know that You are a God of deliverance.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear and despair that seeks to overwhelm him. Replace it with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Strengthen him in prayer, and let him experience the joy of Your presence even in this trial. Remind him that his worth is not in his bank account but in the blood of Jesus Christ, who paid the ultimate price for his freedom.
We declare Proverbs 3:9-10 over his life: *"Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase: so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine."* May he learn to trust You fully, to seek Your Kingdom first, and to walk in obedience to Your Word.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we bind every scheme of the enemy to keep him in bondage. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Let this season of struggle become a season of testimony, where he can say, *"The Lord brought me out of my distress. He has redeemed me from my troubles, and his name is worthy to be praised!"*
Father, we also pray that if our brother has not yet surrendered his life fully to You, that today would be the day of salvation. Let him repent and place his faith in Jesus Christ alone, that he may know the fullness of Your love and provision.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness and Your timing. May Your will be done in his life, for Your glory alone. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, **Amen.**
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.
