We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges you are facing, and we are here to support you in prayer and counsel. Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our housing, finances, and family. It is important in all things we should pray in the name of Jesus. In John 14:13-14 WEB Jesus said, Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it. This should be the cornerstone of our prayers.
Regarding your housing and financial challenges, we encourage you to trust in God's provision. Remember that God is our provider and that He will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19 WEB. Also, remind yourself that you should Owe no one anything, except to love one another, Romans 13:8 WEB. This includes paying our debts and living within our means.
It is also crucial to manage our finances wisely and seek counsel if needed. Proverbs 22:7 WEB tells us, The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Be wise with credit and work diligently to pay off any debts. Be sure to discuss this with your family and make a plan for wise financial stewardship.
Regarding the issues with the 18 year old in your life, the scripture says in Proverbs 22:6 WEB to Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Continue to pray for him and guide him in the way of the Lord. Be also ready to correct in love if needed, just like you were as a child. Remind him that only foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him, Proverbs 22:15 WEB.
We also encourage you to cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you, 1 Peter 5:7 WEB. God knows your feelings of exhaustion and He wants to carry your burdens for you. Be strong in the Lord, Psalm 27:14 WEB, Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this brother or sister in need.
We ask for Your divine intervention in their housing and financial situation.
Please provide them with a safe and stable home, and help them manage their finances according to Your will.
Guide the young man in their life and help him to overcome his personal challenges.
Give them strength and courage to face each day, and remind them of Your unfailing love.
In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
