We understand that you are going through a challenging time, and we want to lift you up in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement. Firstly, remember that God is faithful and that He cares for you and desires for us to persuade Him in prayer.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
Romans 8:15-16, WEB
God is sovereign over your finances and your marriage. He understands the strain that financial burdens can place on a family. It is crucial to remain united and supportive as husband and wife. Turn your hearts towards Jesus and His promises for each of you individually and for your marriage, and family. Remember that God hates divorce and that the covenant of marriage and family is made with God.
For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence! says Yahweh of Armies. Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously. Malachi 2:16, WEB.
He desires for you to handle this situation with wisdom and unity. Reach out to godly counsel for financial advice and ensure that you are in compliance with the law. Pray together and make decisions together, supporting each other through this trial, and keeping God in the center of all of your choices.
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. But let him ask in faith, without any wavering. For he who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. James 1:5-6, WEB
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you, lifting up this precious family that is going through a difficult time. IJN, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance as they navigate through their financial struggles with the IRS. Help them to make godly decisions and to remain united in this trial. Strengthen their marriage and family, and remind them of Your unfailing love and faithfulness. Turn their hearts and minds towards You, Jesus, and we ask for this in Your name. Lord, please guide them to godly counsel for financial advice. Help them to honor their marriage covenant and to be faithful towards each other and to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray and ask these things. Amen.
