We join with you in lifting up your family before our Heavenly Father during this difficult financial crisis and we stand with you seeking His will together in Jesus' name.
We know the weight that financial pressure can place on a family and on the heart, bringing worry and fear about the future. We take comfort that our God sees your needs and He is faithful to provide. As it is written, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. We also cling to the promise, But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33. When anxiety rises, we are reminded, 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. And we trust that, Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6.
We also noticed your request speaks of God but does not mention Jesus Christ, and we want to gently share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9. It is by coming to God through Jesus, trusting in His death and resurrection for our sins, that our prayers are heard and our needs are met according to His grace. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to bring every need to God in His name.
We want to encourage you during this season to seek wisdom and to be faithful stewards of what God has provided. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5. We encourage you to continue in diligent work as God enables, to seek godly counsel, to steward your resources with care, and to be content trusting that He will not leave you. Be free from the love of money, 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. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1.
We now pray together for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear family to You. You know their financial crisis, every bill, every need, every worry that weighs on their hearts. We ask that You would provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory, that You would open doors of opportunity for provision and work, and that You would guide their steps with Your wisdom. Grant them strength for each day and guard their hearts with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help them to seek first Your Kingdom and to trust You with all their hearts, not leaning on their own understanding. Give them unity as a family, hope in Your promises, and faith to see Your hand at work even in this challenging time. Lead them to wise counsel and faithful stewardship, and let this trial draw them closer to You and to Your Son Jesus. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
