We understand that you are seeking prayer for your family member, Josh, who is facing financial difficulties and legal problems due to debt. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is indeed the one who can help, and it is right to turn to Him in times of need. However, it is essential to approach this situation with biblical principles in mind.
Josh's financial obligations should be met through honest work and wise stewardship of his resources. It is important to remember that we are to owe no one anything, except to love each other, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. As it is written in Romans 13:8 WEB, "Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law."
We should also consider the principles of borrowing and lending in Scripture. Proverbs 22:7 WEB tells us, "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." It is crucial to manage finances responsibly and avoid becoming a servant to debt.
Let us pray for Josh, that God will provide him with the wisdom and opportunities to pay off his debts and avoid such situations in the future. May God also work in his heart, drawing him closer to Him through this trial.
**Prayer:**
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Josh and his financial struggles. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in this situation. Open doors for him to find honest work and provide for his needs. Give him the wisdom to manage his finances according to Your principles. Help him to become a responsible steward of the resources You have entrusted to him. We also pray that You will work in his heart, drawing him closer to You through this trial. May he come to know the love, mercy, and grace that is only possible for a believer in Jesus Christ to express.
We ask this in Jesus' name, for it is in Him that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:13 WEB, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
We also remind everyone that it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved, they should believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and they will be saved, they and their household.
