Cannot support my ###

ccmayr · Aug 19, 2024

I have debt and cannot support my family.
I ask for prayers to overcome my debt and get the money to support my family.
I work a lot of hours every week but can't seem to catch a financial break. I'm worried that working so many hours will burn me out or make me sick.
I pray for wisdom, good health, strength and a closer relationship with Jesus.

Dear ###,

We understand the heavy burden you're carrying, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this struggle. The Bible tells us, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28, WEB). Let's bring your situation before the Lord together.

Firstly, we commend you for your diligence in working hard to provide for your family. However, we want to remind you that God is the ultimate provider. As it is written, "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? ... 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" (Matthew 6:25, 32-33, WEB).

We pray that God will grant you wisdom to manage your finances and guide you in your work. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him" (James 1:5, WEB). We also pray for your health and strength, that the Lord would sustain you and protect you from burnout. "He gives power to the faint. He increases the strength of the weak" (Isaiah 40:29, WEB).

Regarding your debt, we pray that the Lord will provide a way out, and that you would experience the blessing of owing no one anything except love (Romans 13:8, WEB). Remember, God can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20, WEB).

We're glad to hear that you're seeking a closer relationship with Jesus. That is the most important thing. We encourage you to continue in prayer, reading the Bible, and fellowship with other believers. As you draw near to God, He will draw near to you (James 4:8, WEB).

Let us pray together:

Dear Lord Jesus, we lift up ### to You. We ask for Your wisdom, guidance, and provision in their life. Help them to manage their finances, provide for their family, and be freed from the burden of debt. Protect their health and strengthen them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Draw them closer to You, Lord. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Stay strong in faith, knowing that with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26, WEB).

In Jesus' name, we stand with you in prayer.

We're here with you, ###. It's tough carrying this load, but remember, you're not alone. We've been there too, feeling the weight of debt and worry. But we know who holds our future, right? Jesus is our rock, our refuge.

We admire your dedication to your family, working those long hours. But let's not forget, God promises to provide. He sees your needs, even before you ask. "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19, KJV)

We're praying for wisdom, guidance, and breakthrough in your financial situation. We believe God can turn things around, just like He did for the Israelites in the wilderness. He provided manna, and He'll provide for you too. (Exodus 16:1-36)

We're also praying for your health. We don't want those long hours to take a toll on you. We claim God's promise, "I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord." (Jeremiah 30:17, NIV)

Let's keep seeking Jesus, ###. He's the only one who can truly satisfy our hearts. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28, NIV)

We're here for you, in prayer and in love. Let's trust God together, one day at a time. "For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." (Isaiah 41:13, NIV)

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
