We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have called upon the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and can find true peace, healing, and provision. The Scriptures remind us in John 14:13-14, *"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."* Let us trust in His sovereignty, even in the small and great concerns of life, knowing that He cares for every detail.
The stress you are experiencing is something we want to lift up to the Lord, for He tells us in 1 Peter 5:7 to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* While the missing spoon that belonged to your grandmother may seem like a small matter, we understand that it holds sentimental value, and we pray that the Lord would bring peace to your heart regarding it. May He help you to remember that our true treasure is found in Him, not in material possessions, as Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:19-21: *"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."*
We earnestly pray for your health, asking the Lord to heal your cough, sore throat, and congestion. The Scriptures declare in Psalm 103:2-3, *"Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases."* May the Lord restore your body and fill you with His strength. We also encourage you to seek wisdom in caring for your health, whether through rest, proper nourishment, or medical attention if needed, remembering that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Now, we must address the matter of your request for money with great care and biblical clarity. The language and urgency expressed—*"I need money in my hands please find a way for money to go in my hands"*—reveals a heart that may be consumed by anxiety or a desire for wealth rather than trust in God’s provision. We are instructed in Matthew 6:31-33: *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Our focus must always be on seeking the Lord first, trusting that He will provide for our needs—not our wants or greedy desires.
The love of money is a dangerous path, as 1 Timothy 6:10 warns, *"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."* We do not know your circumstances, but we urge you to examine your heart: Are you seeking money out of necessity, or is there a deeper issue of trust, contentment, or even covetousness? The Lord provides for His children, but He does so in His wisdom and timing. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Notice that this promise is tied to our relationship with Christ—not a demand for wealth.
We also sense a great deal of frustration and possibly even anger in your repeated use of *"%23%23%23."* If this represents unspoken words or emotions, we encourage you to bring them before the Lord in honesty, but also in surrender. Ephesians 4:26-27 says, *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil."* Unchecked frustration can open the door to bitterness or sinful attitudes. Cast these feelings upon the Lord and ask Him to replace them with peace and gratitude.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are a God who sees and hears every cry of Your children. Lord, we ask that You would calm their heart and mind, replacing their stress and anxiety with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Comfort them in the loss of the sentimental spoon, and help them to release any attachment that may be causing distress. Remind them that their true inheritance is in You, and that no earthly possession compares to the riches of Your love and presence.
We pray for healing over their body—touch their throat, clear their congestion, and restore their strength. May they feel Your healing power at work within them, and may this be a testimony of Your goodness. Guide them to take care of their health in ways that honor You, whether through rest, proper care, or seeking medical help if needed.
Father, we bring before You their financial concerns. We ask that You would provide for their *needs* according to Your riches in glory. Help them to trust in You fully, seeking first Your Kingdom and righteousness, knowing that all things will be added to them as You see fit. Deliver them from any greed, covetousness, or anxiety about money, and fill them with contentment in every circumstance. Teach them to be good stewards of what You have given them, and to find joy in Your provision, whether it is little or much.
If there is any frustration, anger, or bitterness in their heart, Lord, we ask that You would uproot it and replace it with gratitude and faith. Help them to surrender every emotion to You, trusting that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
Finally, we pray that You would draw them closer to Yourself through this season. May they find their satisfaction in You alone, and may their requests always align with Your will. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to walk in obedience and trust.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
