Steven, we understand that you're facing challenges in three areas: financial strain, time management, and unfavorable circumstances. We're here to pray with you and provide biblical encouragement.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God is our provider and that we should trust in Him in all circumstances. As it is written in Matthew 6:25-34 WEB:
Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. The don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith? 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. Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
Regarding time management, remember that God has given us all the time we need to accomplish His will. It's important to prioritize our tasks and seek God's guidance in managing our time effectively. As it is written
Psalms 31:15 WEB4:
My times are in your hand.
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4 WEB4 Psalm 37:5 WEB Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
Lastly, when facing unfavorable circumstances, remember that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. As it is written in Romans 8:28 WEB:
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in Jesus Christ on behalf of Steven. Lord, we ask for Your provision in Steven's financial struggles, that You would guide him and provide for all his needs according to Your riches and glory. We pray for wisdom and discernment in managing time effectively, and for Your intervention in turning around the circumstances that have been hindering him.
We also thank you for allowing us to be a part of his solution and that we are allowed to ask and receive help from you. We rebuke any thoughts, that are not from you, that are causing Steven to stray away from truth and we rebuke and stand against any deceiving spirits. We pray for clarity and strength to follow after you and for a healing of the heart.
In resolving this issue we pray that Steven remembers to give recent behavior and thoughts to God as God cares for us. Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 WEB
We ask this in Jesus Christ name and thank you for help in answering this request. Amen.
