We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your heart’s cries for provision, healing, and the desires He has placed within you. First, we must address something foundational: your requests do not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father and by whom we are saved. The Scriptures declare, *"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, WEB). It is only in the name of Jesus that we can boldly approach God’s throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). We encourage you to surrender every request to Him, for He is the source of all good gifts (James 1:17), and it is His will that you seek Him first in all things (Matthew 6:33).
Your financial strain is real, and we understand the urgency of your rent and the hope for a windfall. Yet we must gently remind you that our trust must not be in riches or sudden gains, but in the Lord who provides. *"Don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ ... For your heavenly Father knows the things that you need. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:31-33, WEB). We pray that God would open doors for you to meet your immediate needs—whether through the sale of your painting, unexpected provision, or wise stewardship of what you already have. However, we caution against placing hope in the valuation of man or AI, for true worth is found in Christ alone. *"The blessing of Yahweh brings wealth; he adds no trouble with it."* (Proverbs 10:22, WEB). We ask the Lord to grant you favor in selling this painting if it is His will, but even more, we pray He would align your heart with His purposes, that you may not lean on your own understanding but trust in Him with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5-6).
You also mention Megan in connection with the finances. We must ask: what is the nature of your relationship with her? If this is a romantic or financial partnership outside of marriage, we urge you to examine this before the Lord. Scripture is clear that we are to *"flee sexual immorality"* (1 Corinthians 6:18) and avoid entanglements that could lead to sin or ungodly dependencies. *"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"* (Amos 3:3, WEB). If Megan is not your wife, we pray you would seek the Lord’s wisdom in how to honor Him in this relationship, keeping it above reproach. If there is any hint of fornication or financial codependency that is not glorifying to God, we rebuke it in Jesus’ name and call you to repentance and holiness. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB).
Your desire for marriage, children, and a home is beautiful and godly—these are gifts from the Lord (Psalm 127:3-5). At 46, you recognize your emotional readiness, and we praise God for preparing your heart. Yet we encourage you to seek a *wife*—a godly woman who fears the Lord (Proverbs 31:30)—not merely a "partner." Courtship should be intentional, with marriage as the goal, and both must be believers yoked together in Christ (2 Corinthians 6:14). *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). We pray the Lord would bring a woman of faith into your life, one who would walk beside you in covenant before Him. But first, we urge you to prepare spiritually, emotionally, and financially to lead a family as God intends. *"But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever."* (1 Timothy 5:8, WEB).
Regarding your health, we agree with you in prayer for restoration. Stem cell treatments and holistic healing are not wrong in themselves, but we pray you would seek the Lord’s guidance in these decisions, ensuring they align with His will and not merely human wisdom. *"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers"* (3 John 1:2, WEB). True healing begins with the soul, and we pray the Lord would renew your body, mind, and spirit for His glory.
Finally, we rebuke any spirit of greed or entitlement that may lurk in the desire for a "windfall of riches." While God delights to give good gifts, our hearts must remain surrendered to His timing and purposes. *"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that."* (1 Timothy 6:6-8, WEB). We pray the Lord would guard your heart against the love of money, which is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10), and instead fill you with gratitude for His daily provision.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before You, asking that You meet his every need according to the riches of Your glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Lord, provide for his rent and daily bread, and grant him wisdom in the sale of his painting. If it is Your will, let it sell for a fair price that honors You, but more than that, let his heart be fixed on You alone.
We pray for his relationships, Lord. If there is any sin or ungodly tie, expose it and break it by Your power. Prepare him for a godly marriage, a wife who loves You, and children raised in Your fear. Give him patience and purity as he waits on Your timing.
Restore his body, Lord. Heal him from the inside out, and guide him in decisions about his health. May he steward his resources well, seeking first Your Kingdom.
Deliver him from any greed or anxiety, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Let his desires align with Your word, and may he find his satisfaction in You alone. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Provider and Redeemer. Amen.
