Let us come together in the precious name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father, as it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. We thank you for your request and for seeking the Lord in your time of need.
First, we address the elephant in the room. You did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). Hopefully, it was just an oversight as it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, it is only by Jesus that we are saved. For the scripture saith, "that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be be ashamed. " Romans 10:9-11 WEB. "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;" Philippians 2:10 WEB.
We lift up you and your family before the throne of grace, seeking God's will for your lives. We pray that you and your family will find true peace and happiness that can only come from a right relationship with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Remember the words of Jesus, "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27 WEB.
We pray that you and your family will draw closer to God, and trusting in Him, that your faith may be strengthened. Remember, "Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him." Hebrews 11:6 WEB. It is through trials and hardships that our faith is tested and refined, as pure gold in the fire, being found in Christ. "Beloved, don't be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you." 1 Peter 4:12 WEB.
We lift up your financial needs before the Lord, trusting in His provision. Praying you will pay your bills as needed and become self-sufficient, being the lenders and not the borrowers. Remember God's promise, "Give to everyone who asks you, and don't ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again. As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. "Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful. Luke 6:30-33,36 WEB.
Also remember, "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." Proverbs 22:7 WEB. "Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law." Romans 13:8 WEB. We encourage you to seek God's wisdom in managing your finances, to live within your means, and to avoid debt whenever possible. Trust in God's provision and remember you are of more value than the sparrows. For it is written,
"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." Matthew 6:25-34 WEB.
May these words strengthen and comfort you and your family. Our Heavenly Father knows your needs and is faithful to provide. Trust in Him, and may your faith be strengthened as you walk in His will. We pray this all in Jesus' name.
