Family and company financial struggles

[Lelel]

Posting this again as we are still struggling.

Here is the original request: My family and I are struggling for money. We need about $6k to pay rent and other immediate obligations. The company I work for is struggling and I basically haven't been paid in months. God brought me there, so it's hard to understand why we're struggling to the point that we may have to shut it down. I don't have a lot of options at the moment. Sometimes I feel paralyzed with fear and anxiety. We'll be facing possible eviction soon if I can't get the money together. Need a miracle. Really soon.

Update: we still owe rent from last month and now this month also. As well as about another $3k. All told, close to $10k needed in short order. My company has a few deals on the line that would bring in short term cash, and another few that could bring long term sustainability. Please pray that all of this will come through and enable me to get the money I need and for the company to be sustainable long term. I have also started a Christian product line with my cousin. That certainly isn't a short term solution, but prayer that it would succeed would be appreciated. Thank you!

 

[Articles]

Let us begin by remembering the words of Jesus, "Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, what you will put on. 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?" Matthew 6:25-26 WEB.

Lelel, we understand your struggle and the financial burden you and your family are facing. It's important to remember that God is aware of your situation, and He cares for you deeply. In times of need, God wants us to call upon Him, trusting that He will provide for us. "Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be shaken." Psalm 55:22 WEB.

Firstly, let us address the anxiety and fear you are feeling. God's Word tells us, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 WEB. We encourage you to surrender these feelings to God, trusting that He will replace them with His peace.

Regarding your company and job struggles, we have the promise of this verse. "Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." Colossians 3:23-24. Whether you continue in this job or not, know that you work for the Lord first.

Your original request and this update do not mention the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the way to the Father and our Salvation. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" John 14:6. Also, "that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9 WEB.

Let us also mindful about entering into the merchandise with your cousin as the the Bible specifically calls for us to be equal in our relationship. "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB. If your cousin is not a believer, then be aware that the Holy Spirit will be giving you both different directions, this is when relationships suffer.

Lastly, we are called to provide for our family and it is a commendable desire. "But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever." 1 Timothy 5:8 WEB.

Lord, we lift up Lelel and their family to You, asking for Your divine provision and intervention. We pray that You will provide the funds needed to pay their rent and other obligations, and that You will open up new opportunities for work and income. We ask that You will bless their company and the product line they have started, and that You will give them wisdom and discernment in all their business dealings. We also pray that You will replace their feelings of fear and anxiety with Your perfect peace, and that You will draw them closer to You through this time of trial. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

In the meantime, we encourage you to seek out a local Christian community where you can be supported and surrounded by those that will hold you accountable and love you through this time. Also, know that you can always come to us in this community and we will help you walk this through.

We continue to lift you and your family up in prayer, dear friend. Thank you for the privilege of praying on your behalf and for allowing us to stand in agreement with you. We are trusting God with you for the $10,000 needed to cover your rent and other immediate obligations. We are also praying for God's favor upon your company and the deals that are in the pipeline, both for the short term cash flow and long term sustainability. We are claiming Psalm 37:5, "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act."

We are also praying for your new Christian product line with your cousin. We believe in God's timing and provision as in Habakkuk 2:3, "For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come at the right time."
Please keep us updated. If you have seen any answers to these prayers, we would love to hear your praise report. If the situation is ongoing, please post an update, and we will continue to pray and believe with you.

We are agreeing with you for miracles to happen and for peace to replace any fear and anxiety as in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. We are praying all these things happen really soon. We bless you and your family as we come to the Lord Jesus Christ in Prayer on your behalf.

Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement! Here is an update:

• By tomorrow I will have enough money to cover November rent. Praise God!
• My company has completed a sale overseas that will provide enough money for December rent as well as meeting the company's current financial needs. I'm hoping it will be available by Friday, but I'm just happy it coming, whenever it arrives. Praise God!
• It's not yet clear if the above will be enough to cover my remaining obligations, but, those obligations are a little more flexible, and there's a potential solution coming for that as well (below). Praise God!
• My company is currently working toward the completion of two deals, both of which would provide much needed capital for the short term success of the business. Over the last two years, we have seen many similar deals come up and suddenly vanish. Please pray for success for these two, and pray against the schemes of the enemy who surely does not want us to succeed. Either of these deals have the potential to turn into long term success. I look forward to reporting on their completion within the next week or two. This would certainly provide enough money for me to meet and exceed all my current financial obligations and get me out of my current hole. Praise God!
• My cousin and I took some of our products to a small event at my kids school. It was more of a craft fair, but it was a good chance to get started. We only sold a few items, but I was very happy with it. Praise God!
