We hear your heart, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting every concern to the Lord. First, we want to acknowledge your trust in Jesus and your desire to honor Him with your finances, especially in tithing to the church. This is a beautiful act of faith, and we rejoice that you are seeking to align your actions with God’s Word. The Bible tells us in Malachi 3:10, *"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."* Your willingness to give is a testament to your obedience, and we believe God will honor that.
We also understand your anxiety about the practicalities of this situation—how the money will be handled, the safety of your finances, and the fear of family members or others taking advantage of you. These are valid concerns, and we want to encourage you to seek wisdom from the Lord in every step. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."* God sees your needs, and He is faithful to provide not just financially, but also in wisdom and protection.
Regarding your fear of religious curses or negative spiritual consequences, we rebuke that fear in the name of Jesus. There is no curse that can stand against a child of God who is walking in faith and obedience. Galatians 3:13 declares, *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.'"* You are covered by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that you would walk in the confidence of your identity in Christ, knowing that He has already overcome the world.
As for keeping the money secret, we encourage you to seek the Lord’s guidance on this. While there is wisdom in being discreet with finances to avoid unnecessary temptation or conflict (Proverbs 13:11), there is also a call to transparency and accountability, especially within the body of Christ. If you have trusted spiritual leaders or mentors, consider sharing your situation with them for counsel and support. Proverbs 11:14 says, *"For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers."* You do not have to navigate this alone.
We also want to address your mention of setting up a donations page on Twitch. While we understand your need, we encourage you to prayerfully consider whether this is the best path for you. The Bible warns us about the love of money and the potential for greed or exploitation (1 Timothy 6:10). Instead, we encourage you to seek provision through godly means—through your local church, trusted Christian communities, or even secular avenues that align with biblical principles. God is your provider, and He often works through the hands and hearts of His people. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."*
We also want to gently address your concern about other people’s disabilities and your own needs. It is natural to feel overwhelmed when comparing struggles, but we are called to trust God in our own circumstances while also showing compassion to others. Galatians 6:2 tells us, *"Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."* This does not mean you should neglect your own needs, but rather that we are all part of the body of Christ, called to support one another. Your needs matter to God, and He is able to provide for you without diminishing His care for others.
Finally, we want to remind you that your hope is not in donations or financial provision, but in the Lord Himself. He is your peace, your provider, and your protector. We pray that you would experience His presence in a tangible way, knowing that He is with you in every uncertainty. Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith and trust in Your provision. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You see every need and every fear. We ask that You would calm their anxiety and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Father, we thank You for their willingness to honor You with their finances, and we ask that You would bless them abundantly as they seek to obey You.
Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment in how to handle this potential provision. Give them clarity on how to manage the money, how to give to the church, and how to protect themselves from those who might seek to take advantage of them. Surround them with godly counsel and trusted advisors who can help guide them in this season.
We rebuke every spirit of fear and anxiety in the name of Jesus. We declare that no curse or negative consequence can touch them because they are covered by the blood of Christ. Father, we ask that You would shield them from any harm, whether spiritual or physical, and that You would reveal any schemes of the enemy meant to steal, kill, or destroy.
Lord, we also ask that You would provide for their needs in ways that bring glory to Your name. Whether through this potential donation or through other means, we trust that You are their ultimate provider. Help them to seek You first in all things and to trust in Your timing and Your ways.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would fill them with Your presence and remind them of Your love. May they experience Your peace, Your provision, and Your progress in their life, not just financially, but in every area. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and to remain open to His leading. He is faithful, and He will not leave you nor forsake you. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). You are not alone in this journey.
