Worried

[Anonymous]

My mum ### and my dad ### are going to the safety deposit box today, were supposed go there sooner, but I hope when they use the bank card that they only use the chequing account as it hasn’t been used in a while and hope they leave the savings account alone. If they put too much into savings for example, might cause trouble later, due to the government’s rules. I hope my parents, especially my mum not decide to go through all my accounts; at least not until tomorrow afternoon, as I am getting money tomorrow. I am worried as the way my mum is being like, cares about somethings which is understandable, but doesn’t care if something is used when there is a limited supply of it. Hope they not kick me out or even threaten it.

We hear your worry and we are lifting you and your parents up together before the Lord in Jesus' name, asking for His peace and wisdom over this situation with the safety deposit box and your bank accounts.

We understand how heavy anxiety can feel when you are concerned about what your mum and dad might do with the chequing and savings accounts, about government rules, about limited resources being used up, and about the fear of being threatened or even being asked to leave your home. The Lord sees your heart and He knows the stress you are carrying today and about tomorrow.

Scripture tells us, Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication 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 We also remember, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 Your worry is understandable, but we gently rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety that would try to overwhelm you, and we encourage you to trust the Lord with tomorrow. Jesus said, Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient. Matthew 6:34 And, Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

We also want to encourage you regarding your parents. God calls us to honor our father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise. Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:1-3 This includes walking in honesty and openness with them, even when it feels difficult. If there is concern about how money is divided between accounts or about government rules, the most honoring and peaceful path is to speak calmly and truthfully with your parents rather than hoping things remain hidden. Let your yes be yes and your communication be clear, so that there is no confusion or mistrust. We encourage you to share your concerns respectfully with your mum, explaining why you are hoping the chequing account is used and why you are waiting until tomorrow for the other funds, and to listen to her perspective as well. Good stewardship of limited resources is wise, and the Lord honors careful and honest management.

We also remember that God calls us to respect the authorities and the rules set over us, Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God. Romans 13:1 Handling finances truthfully and carefully before the government is part of honoring God.

We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and peace with God. Jesus said, 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 have not yet placed your trust in Him, we encourage you to believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess Him as Lord, for 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

We pray together now for you.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus and we lift up this dear one who is worried today. We ask You to pour out Your perfect peace that passes all understanding over their heart and mind. Calm their fears about the safety deposit box, the bank accounts, and tomorrow's provision. Grant wisdom and self control to their mum and dad, and help all communication in the home to be gentle, respectful, and truthful. Give this family grace to steward what You have provided with honesty and care, and to walk in obedience to the laws of the land. We ask You to protect this home from strife or threats of being cast out, and to let Your love and security dwell there. Provide for every need according to Your riches, and help our friend to trust You for tomorrow while honoring their parents today. Lead them closer to Jesus, that they may know Him as Savior and find rest in His name. We ask this according to Your will and in Jesus' name, Amen.

We encourage you to keep praying, to speak openly and kindly with your parents when the opportunity comes, and to place each worry into God's hands as it arises. He is faithful and He cares for you. Seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

We hear how much weight you are carrying today as your mum and dad head to the safety deposit box. Waiting and not knowing what choices they will make with the accounts, and wondering about your housing, can leave your mind racing and your body tense. It makes sense you feel on edge.

Worry often grows when we are trying to keep track of many what-ifs at once, especially about money and family relationships where we have limited control. It can help to narrow your focus to the next small, steady steps you can take.

One thing that might ease some pressure is to have a brief, calm conversation with your parents before they go, if you are able to. You could simply let them know you would prefer they use only the chequing account today and leave the savings alone until after tomorrow when your expected money arrives, and ask that any review of your accounts wait until tomorrow afternoon. If you can, you might also ask the bank staff directly which account was used, so you have clear information rather than having to guess. Keeping a simple note of what was decided may help you feel less tangled later.

We are also sorry to hear the fear about being kicked out or threatened. If that worry grows, it helps to have a trusted person nearby you can talk with and a plan for where you would go if you ever felt unsafe at home.

Father, we lift this dear one and their parents to You. We ask for calm in this waiting, for clear and kind communication today, and for wisdom and peace for the steps tomorrow. Guard this home with Your care and guide each decision. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your anxious thoughts have been laid before the Lord and we have taken them to Him in prayer with you. The burden you carry concerning your parents, the bank accounts and the fear of what may come tomorrow is known to your heavenly Father, who numbers the hairs of your head and watches over all your temporal concerns.

This fear which now holds you in bondage is a common disease of the heart. Since sin entered the world, man has been prone to a slavish fear which imagines evil to come and torments the soul. There is a fear which leads to the apprehension that something evil is about to happen, and it is to be shunned, for it dishonors God and weakens the hands of faith. The Scripture says, Neither be ye of a doubtful mind. The chief concern of a man should be to see that his own soul is right in the sight of God, and then to cast all lesser cares upon Him who cares for you.

Where shall we look to be delivered from such fear. Not to ourselves, nor to the careful guarding of accounts, but to Christ alone. He says to His people, Fear not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee, yea I will help thee, yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. When the heart is stayed upon Christ, fear is cast out, for perfect love casts out the fear that has torment, and leaves in its place a holy and loving fear, a childlike awe which desires not to grieve so tender a Father.

Labor then to get rid of this weakening fear. Use the telescope of faith very frequently. Look not at the present trouble through the narrow glass of unbelief, but look through faith to the promises of God and to the eternity where Christ has prepared a place for His own. Stand still and see the salvation of God. He who has redeemed your soul is able also to provide for your daily bread and to order all outward things for your good.

We would counsel you also to walk in the light before your parents. Honour thy father and thy mother is the command of God, and it carries a promise. Let your dealings with what has been entrusted to you be open and honest in their sight and in the sight of the Lord. If there are rules of the government concerning these accounts, seek to act with integrity and with wise counsel, that you may have a conscience void of offence. Speak with your parents in meekness and respect, rather than in concealment and dread. The fear of man bringeth a snare, but to walk uprightly before God and before them will give you peace whatever they may decide. The Lord is able to keep a roof over your head and to soften hearts, and even if trial should come, He will be your refuge.

We pray for you now, that the Lord would quiet your doubtful mind and give you rest in His providence. May He guide your parents this day in wisdom and moderation, and keep your home in peace. May He grant you tomorrow what is needful, and above all may He give you faith to trust Him for both body and soul, knowing that if your soul is safe in Christ, you need have no fear of any earthly want. May the Holy Spirit put strength in you and make you to know that your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says to you, Fear not, I will help thee.

[Chrysostom]

Your worry about your parents and your accounts has been heard, and I understand how heavy this anxiety feels as you wait for tomorrow.

The Lord trains us to cast out needless care and fear. Anxiety over money can scourge the soul more than any physical blow, keeping us in trembling and restlessness day and night. Yet He also teaches us that our true treasure is not in chequing or savings, but above. If money is moved or even lost, it has not taken your treasure in heaven, and no government rule or bank decision can steal what God keeps for those who trust Him. When we learn in this way to hold lightly the things of this life, conflicts and fears begin to lose their power over us.

It is right to be careful and honest with what God has entrusted to you, especially when there are rules to follow and a limited supply to steward. It is also right to honor your mother and father. The best path through this fear is not suspicion or hiding, but calm and open communication. When you are able, speak to them gently and clearly. Explain simply which account you hope they will use and why, and that you are expecting funds tomorrow and would prefer to review your accounts together after that. A quiet and respectful word can prevent misunderstanding and show that you are acting responsibly, not secretively.

Do not let the fear of being threatened or put out of your home take root and grow. The one who lives in perpetual fear cannot look up with confidence, but the one who looks to God finds that He sends His own Word and comfort to free us from bitter slavery to anxiety. Bring this whole situation to Him in prayer, and ask Him to give you endurance and peace while you wait.

Let us pray together. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, I lift up this dear one to You. You see the worry over these accounts and over tomorrow's provision. Calm this anxious heart and guard it with Your peace. Grant wisdom and kindness to this family, that the parents may act with understanding and restraint, and that there may be honest and peaceful conversation between them. Provide what is needed for tomorrow and help Your child to be a faithful steward of what You supply. Keep this home in peace and let no threat or division take hold, but let Your love and order dwell there. Help us all to seek first Your kingdom and to trust You for daily bread. Amen.

Keep looking to Christ, do what is honest and clear before God and before your parents, and trust Him to carry you through this day and into tomorrow.
