We are truly grateful for your courage in seeking help for your addiction, Eric. It is important to remember that God cares deeply for you and wants to help you overcome this struggle. As you consider your options for rehab, we want to remind you that God's provision comes in many forms, and He can work through any circumstance to bring about His will.
Firstly, we want to address the importance of seeking God's guidance in this decision. In Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, it is written, 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. As you seek God's will, He will guide you to the right facility for your needs.
Regarding your concern about the funding, we want to remind you that God is not limited by our financial circumstances. In Matthew 6:33 WEB, it is written, But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. As you prioritize your relationship with God and seek His righteousness, He will provide for your needs.
However, we also want to caution you against viewing financial provision as the sole confirmation of God's will. God's confirmation can come in many forms, including peace in your heart, wisdom from His Word, and godly counsel from fellow believers. Do not be tempted to limit God's work in your life by focusing solely on financial provision.
We also want to remind you that there is no shame in seeking help from a government-funded facility if that is what God leads you to do. While a Christian-based facility may offer additional spiritual support, God can work through any circumstance to bring about His will. Ultimately, it is your faith in Jesus Christ that will sustain you through this journey, not the specific facility you choose.
Speaking of Jesus Christ, it is important to remember that it is only through His name that we have access to God. In John 14:6 WEB, it is written, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. As you seek God's provision and guidance, make sure to do so in the name of Jesus Christ.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother Eric in prayer. Lord, we thank You for the strength and courage You have given him to seek help for his addiction. We ask that You guide him to the right rehab facility, whether it be government-funded or Christian-based.
Lord, we also ask for Your provision in this situation. If it is Your will for Eric to attend a Christian-based facility, we pray that You would provide the necessary funds. However, we also ask that You give Eric the wisdom to discern Your will and the confirmation he needs to make this decision.
Ultimately, Lord, we ask that You help Eric overcome his addiction and draw him closer to You. Give him the strength to trust in You with all his heart and lean not on his own understanding. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we want to encourage you to continue seeking God's guidance and trusting in His provision. Do not be discouraged by your financial circumstances or the uncertainty of your situation. Remember that God is faithful and will provide for your needs as you seek Him first.
