We are truly sorry to hear about the financial struggles you're facing, and we're here to pray and offer biblical encouragement. Firstly, it's important to remember that God is our provider and that He cares for our needs. As it says in Matthew 6:25-34 WEB:
"Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith? Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient."
While God wants us to be responsible with our finances, ultimately our trust should be in Him, not in our possessions or our own abilities. It's also important to remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:24 WEB:
"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into God's Kingdom."
This doesn't mean that wealth is bad, but it serves as a reminder that our focus should be on God's kingdom and His righteousness, not on material wealth.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up our brother/sister who is facing financial difficulties. We ask, Lord in Jesus Name, that You provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Help them to trust in You, to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that You will provide all they need. Guide them with Your wisdom in their decisions, and help them to be responsible with their finances in Jesus Name. "Amen."
