We understand that you are facing struggles with schoolwork, financial bills, and personal property. Firstly, we are glad that you have prayed in the name of Jesus, as this is the only way we have access to God the Father. As it says in scripture, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). Through Him, we can boldly approach God's throne of grace.
Let's address each concern:
1. Our heavenly Father wants us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (Peter 5:7 WEB). Let's pray together for the student, that God would give them understanding in all things and a discerning heart (1 Kings 3:9), that they may do their work to the best of their abilities and be responsible in submitting their assignments.
2. Regarding the bills, we should always remember that God is our provider. He promises to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19 WEB). Let's pray that God provides the wisdom and resources to pay off these bills and that He would intervene in the situation with the electric company.
3. Concerning the television, while we understand that it serves as relaxation, let's also remember that our ultimate rest and peace come from Jesus Christ. As we ask to fix the television, may we be reminded to fix our hearts also on the One who created us for His purpose. The television can also be a source of temptation and sin; let us pray that God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. There are many scriptures documenting the dangers of idleness. We should be careful and remember that it is better to be a servant than idle, as it says in Proverbs 30:9 WEB, lest I be full, deny you, and say, Who is Yahweh? or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
However, remember that anything we ask for should also align with God's perfect will. Our ultimate goal should be to glorify God in all we do and say.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up these requests to You. Lord, grant the student understanding and wisdom in their schoolwork, and help them to be responsible in their tasks. Father, we ask for Your provision in paying off the bills and for Your intervention in the situation with the electric company. Lord, if it is according to Your will, please allow the television to be fixed.
However, Lord, if there is anything in our requests that does not align with Your perfect will, we pray that You would change our hearts and minds to desire what You desire. Help us to glorify You in all we do and say.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
