We understand that you're facing financial challenges and seeking guidance on your lease payments and potential move. Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we can approach God the Father. As it is written 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."
In times of financial need, it's essential to trust in God's provision and wisdom. Remember that God cares for you and will supply your needs according to His riches in glory. "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 WEB.
Regarding your lease, it's important to act with integrity and honor your contracts. "Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'You shall not break your oath, but shall fulfill your vows to the Lord.' But I tell you, don't swear at all..." Matthew 5:33-34a WEB. If you're finding it difficult to meet your payments, consider the following steps:
1. **Stewardship**: Look for areas where you can reduce expenses and manage your finances better. "He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much." Luke 16:10 WEB.
2. **Communication**: Reach out to your landlord and openly discuss your situation. They may be understanding and willing to negotiate better terms. "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger." Proverbs 15:1 WEB.
3. **Patience**: Trust in God's timing for your move. Don't act hastily or outside of His will. "Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh." Psalm 27:14 WEB.
4. **Prayer**: Continue to bring your petitions to God, trusting that He will direct your paths. "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.
