Hello,
I would really appreciate it if you could pray for my boyfriend - He came to this country 14 years ago because he is an Iraqi Christian and he was being persecuted for his religion, so were his family so they ended up all over the world. My boyfriend started a business here years ago and unintentionally "over" borrowed so has a lot of debt.He makes regular payments but the banks keep asking for higher payments and charging penalties and high interest. If he goes bankrupt he will be banned from travelling to see his family. If he keeps paying the debt he is going to need a more steady job. Please can you pray for us financially. Before this I have never cared about money and I feel ashamed asking for financial prayers when there are people with health problems and things posting here, so please forgive me. I do this as our lives are at a stalemate -we have been together for almost 4 years. We want to travel to the States and Canada to visit his family and get their blessing for us to be married but my boyfriend has a lot of debt so I need to save for this trip. This was my decision because I want him to focus on clearing his debt. We want to get married, have kids and be able to make annual or biennial trips to see his family. We also want to help his family. In my country there is a procedure called a No Assets Procedure.It means that you get your debt wiped as a once in a lifetime thing but get monitored financially for a year by an ombudsman (it is like a get-out-of-jail-free card for people who have more than paid back their debts but are just being held to ransom by interest etc) If my boyfriend took this option, we could do all of this and stop throwing money in a debt pit. We could also afford to get married and stop living in sin. He is eligible to take this option but feels obliged to pay all of the fees as he feels it is the right thing to do. Please pray that he will soften to this idea as it seems like the only solution - it means we can see his family, start saving money and glorify God as a married Christian couple. We financially both earn good money but don't see it, we are classified as "working poor".Please pray for God to show my boyfriend what needs to happen gently, he is depressed so can not take much more disappointment, but he needs guidance to decide what he will do about this debt.as I finished typing this he told me about a company he will approach on Monday,also,the bank has offered me an answer regarding whether they can give me a short term loan on Monday.It is a good thing if they say yes as we have a small business that we can increase with this.My credit is fine and i can pay what I borrow, but this little side project would give me more time to study and free up our finances heaps. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.I know it is really long and ranty. I pray that God's will can be done in our lives and yours - God Bless you all -
