Prayer for forgiveness and financial abundance

[Emborelith]

My name is ###. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife of 5 years and 2 kids, a 5 and 1 year old. Approximately 2 years ago, we were living in a two bedroom apartment, working on building our credit to get a house we can grow into. During that time, God blessed my career, helping me achieve a promotion and increase my income from $50k to $100k/year with the help of overtime my job offered. Due to this income increase and maintaining $100k for 3 years straight, I built enough courage to apply for a mortgage and my family was blessed with a $465k mortgage loan. After house hunting, we found our home which cost $450k. I prayed to God at that time asking if this is the house for us, and I felt assuredness that this was the right decision to make in getting this house, believing that I will maintain overtime pay and that due to my finance certifications, I can find promotions to increase my income in the future.

Now fast forward to today, we are a year in the house and my job is saying they plan to do away with overtime sometime next year. That would send the $100k or so I was making to only $80k. This sent me into a world of worry and stress and regret. I feel as though I may have not heard God correctly on choosing this house. I feel I may have been overzealous in my ability to maintain such a house. I felt so stupid, saying to myself I should have waited to find a cheaper house. I'm afraid I won't be able to cover all my bills next year. I have been applying to other job opportunities to increase my income, but I have not heard a response even though I'm qualified. I feel like I'm letting myself and my family down and it's my fault life seems to be on hard mode now. I asked God for forgiveness and cry to him day and night asking him to provide my needs and not to leave nor forsake me. I've been standing on Philippians 4:4-9 to get me through my days, but I can't see the future I am praying to Yaweh for. I have accumulated $9k in credit card debt and we are in a residential area where property and city taxes, and Fed taxes, keep rising. I'm in need of prayer for peace in this situation, and a need for wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and foresight. I also need prayer for God to provide abundance/overflow of all my needs and financial needs. I have been tithing to God but due to debt and bills, I've only been able to tithe $20 here and there. I wish I could give more to God. Thank you for your agreement in prayer in advance. I don't know what else to do but to turn to God and I was brought to this site. Thank you.

Emborelith, let us first thank God for the blessings He has bestowed upon you, including your wife, children, and the provisions He has provided thus far. Remember that God's will is for us to prosper and be in good health, just as our souls prosper (3 John 1:2 WEB).

In times of uncertainty and worry, it is crucial to turn to God and cast all our anxieties on Him, because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). It is commendable that you have been standing on Philippians 4:4-9, which reminds us to rejoice in the Lord always and to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let our requests be made known to God. The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus.

Regarding your financial situation, remember that God is able to provide abundantly more than all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20 WEB). He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10 WEB), and He can provide for you in ways you cannot imagine. Also, consider what Jesus taught in Matthew 6:25-34 (WEB), do not be anxious for your life, and for what you will eat or drink; nor be anxious for your body, what you wear. Because life is more than food or clothes.

Addressing any issue that may not align with biblical principles, we advise against focusing on your ability, but keep your focus on God. Also, there is nowhere that God promises you will be free of problems but that He will deliver you from them all. Additionally, it is important to mention that tithing is a biblical principle that should be adhered to, but it should not be done out of compulsion or guilt. God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7 WEB), and He will bless you according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.

Regarding the possible reduction in income, remember that God is your provider, not your job or overtime pay. Trust in Him with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).

Let us also look at Matthew 6:33 (WEB) for godly wisdom. To never worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Some may interpret first things as money or clothing or some other material item to obtain for themselves or even family. But Jesus is clear these things come after first seeking the kingdom of God. In the context of the verse here it is that God will provide all these things, not we will provide for ourselves all these things. Also, the kingdom of God comes first not to us but to God. Where does He want us to support His kingdom? Let us pray that His kingdom comes and His will is done in His kingdom. Your faith in Jesus Christ that you may have is in His kingdom to begin with, this is where Jesus Christ as the king is.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up ### and his family. We thank You for the blessings You have bestowed upon them and for Your faithfulness in their lives. Lord, we ask for Your peace to guard ###'s heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help him to cast all his anxieties on You, knowing that You care for him.

Father, we ask for Your provision and abundance to overflow in ###'s life, according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Help his job situation in a way that You will for His kingdom on earth. His unfailing love endures. Father, we ask for Your provision and abundance to overflow in ###'s life. Open the windows of heaven and pour out Your blessings upon him, so that there will not be room enough to receive it.

We also pray for wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and foresight for ###. Guide him in his decisions, and help him to trust in You with all his heart. Help him seek Your kingdom first. Lord we pray for all readers now that would have You grant repentance and give them knowledge of the truth. Grant our leaders wisdom. Heal relationships between all Christian believers and factions.

We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ who gives us faith in His name. By Him we have access to even approach Your throne of grace. Thank You that by His stripes, we are healed, and by His sacrifice, we have access to You, the author of all thing and creation.

Dawaun, we've been praying for you and your family. We're sorry to hear about the financial struggles you're facing, but we want you to know that God is with you every step of the way. Let's remember Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

We know it's hard, but let's trust in God's plan. He sees your situation and He cares. He's promised in Matthew 6:25-26, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come before you today, lifting up ### and his family. We thank you for their lives and for your faithfulness. Lord, we ask for your peace to guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Help them to cast all their anxieties on you, knowing that you care for them.

Lord, we ask for your provision and abundance to overflow in their lives. Help them to trust in you with all their hearts, and to seek your kingdom first. Lord, we also pray for wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and foresight for ###. Guide him in his decisions and help him to trust in you.

Lord, we ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who gives us faith in His name. By Him, we have access to even approach your throne of grace. Thank you that by His stripes, we are healed, and by His sacrifice, we have access to you, the author of all things and creation.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
