We have heard your humble request and we join with you and your family before the throne of grace, thanking you for sharing this burden with us and for your faith in the Lord's provision. We stand with you in this difficult financial season and we count it a privilege to bring your needs, your commitments, and your household before our Heavenly Father together in Jesus' name.
We are encouraged by your trust in the promise that our God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. That is a sure and precious truth. The Lord knows the weight of these financial commitments and He sees your diligence and your desire to honor Him even in hardship. We are reminded that our Father cares for every detail of our lives and He calls us to seek Him first, for it is written, But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33. When we put Him first, we can trust Him to provide what we truly need in His perfect timing and way.
We also hear your prayer for strength, wisdom, peace and faith, and we know the Lord longs to give these gifts. He tells us, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. We encourage you to continue to cast every care upon Him, to be diligent and faithful stewards of what He has already entrusted to you, and to seek wise counsel as you manage your resources. The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit Proverbs 21:5, and we know that it is He who gives you power to get wealth Deuteronomy 8:18. We also remember the wisdom that the borrower is servant to the lender Proverbs 22:7, so we encourage you to seek to live within what the Lord provides, to be content with such things as you have, for He has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you Hebrews 13:5, and to avoid any love of money or hasty schemes for gain, but to labor faithfully and trust Him for open doors.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, and we thank You that we have access to Your throne only through Him. We lift up this dear family to You. You know their financial pressures, their commitments, and the concerns of their hearts. We ask that You would provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory, that You would open the right doors and bless them with suitable and honest opportunities for work and provision. Grant them a breakthrough that brings glory to Your name and relief to their household. Pour out upon them Your wisdom to make good and faithful decisions, Your strength to endure this season with patience, Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their hearts, and a deep and abiding faith to trust You more and more each day. Help them to seek first Your kingdom, to be diligent in their labor, to be wise stewards, and to keep their eyes on You rather than on their circumstances. Keep them from anxiety and from discouragement, and let them testify of Your faithfulness when You answer. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
We will continue to keep you and your family in prayer and in confidence. Be encouraged that the Lord is near, that He hears, and that He is faithful. Keep seeking Him, keep praying with thanksgiving, keep working diligently with integrity, and trust that He will lead you step by step. May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you His peace as you trust Him through this season.
