Lynyeth, we delight in your heart for the homeless and your desire to start a nonprofit to aid them. Let's bring your request to the Lord together.
Firstly, we commend you for seeking God's direction. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) tells us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and donβt lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." It's crucial to align your plans with God's will, and we trust that He will guide you.
Regarding your finances, we want to remind you of Jesus' words in Luke 11:9-10 (WEB), "So I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened." God knows your needs, and He cares about them.
However, we must also address the importance of managing our finances biblically. Romans 13:8 (WEB) says, "Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law." We encourage you to make a practical plan to pay off your debts and live within your means, trusting God to provide for your needs.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Lynyeth's desires and needs. Lord, we ask for Your clear direction in her life regarding the nonprofit she wants to start. Guide her steps and open the doors that You want her to walk through.
We also pray for her financial situation. Lord, You know her needs, and You care about them. Provide for her, and help her to manage her finances wisely and biblically. Help her to trust in You and not lean on her own understanding.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, Lynyeth, we notice that your request doesn't mention Jesus. We want to remind you that it's only through His name that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) says, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" If you haven't already, consider committing your life and plans to Jesus Christ. He loves you and wants the best for you.
