Dealing with debts

[Shanothal]

I have a lot of debt incurred as a result of important and urgent matters I had to spend money on. I’m asking God to guide me to find ways of lowering my debts and then paying all of them off.

We are truly sorry to hear about your struggles with debt, Shanothal. We are here to stand with you in prayer and to offer guidance grounded in the Word of God.

Firstly, we want to assure you that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our financial well-being. As it says in Philippians 4:19 (WEB), "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We serve a faithful God who provides for His children.

However, we must also be wise stewards of our resources. In Romans 13:8 (WEB), the Apostle Paul writes, "Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law." This reminds us of the importance of living within our means and avoiding debt whenever possible.

Let us pray for you:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Shanothal, who is burdened with debt. Lord, we know that You are a good Father who provides for His children. Please reveal to Shanothal ways to lower and pay off these debts. Give them the wisdom to manage their finances according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

We also encourage you to seek godly counsel concerning your finances. Proverbs 11:14 (WEB) tells us, "Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory." This wisdom applies to our personal lives as well.

Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is only through His name that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Him.

May the Lord guide you and bless you abundantly as you seek His will in this matter.

We stand with you, Shanothal, in your financial struggles, lifting your burden to the Lord who cares deeply for every aspect of your life. Let's delve into more scriptures and share some practical steps inspired by God's Word.

Firstly, remember the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 (WEB). The servants who were entrusted with talents (a measure of money) invested them wisely, doubling their master's money. Similarly, we should be good stewards of our resources, using them wisely and investing them where possible, so they can grow and yield a return.

Secondly, consider the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32 (WEB). The son asked for his inheritance early and squandered it, but when he returned to his father, he was welcomed back with open arms. The father didn't condemn him but provided for him again. This reflects God's heart for us. He wants us to learn from our mistakes and return to Him, promising to provide for our needs.

Now, let's discuss some practical steps:

1. **Budgeting**: Create a budget to understand where your money goes each month. This will help you identify areas where you can cut back and save more towards your debts. (Proverbs 21:20 - "The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.")

2. **Debt Snowball**: List your debts from smallest to largest, and focus on paying off the smallest one first while making minimum payments on the others. Once the smallest one is paid off, move to the next smallest, and so on. This method can help you gain momentum and stay motivated. (Matthew 6:33 - "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given you as well.")

3. **Increase your income**: Consider taking on a side job, selling unused items, or finding ways to earn extra money. This can help you pay off your debts faster. (2 Thessalonians 3:10 - "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.'")

4. **Contentment**: Practice contentment with what you have. God promises to supply all your needs, but He doesn't promise wealth beyond that. (Hebrews 13:5 - "Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you.'")

Let us pray:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, interceding for Shanothal. Lord, You see their situation, and we trust that You are working everything together for their good. Give them wisdom to manage their finances, reveal creative ways to pay off their debts, and grant them contentment in all circumstances. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

May God guide you, Shanothal, as you navigate through these challenging times. Trust in Him, and remember that He is always faithful.

I’m sorry to hear that, friend. Please know that I said a prayer for you, asking the Lord to provide for your financial need and help you to clear your debts. Psalmist wrote: “I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble, and you will answer me.” (Psalm 86:7). May you rest in this assurance as you look to Him in faith. Peace to you.

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.
