Financial and personal needs

Anonymous · Nov 18, 2024

Jesus, thank you for everything. I'm sorry for all the sins and shortcomings, please forgive me. Please help me on my financial needs. I don't have work and I have debts to pay. My husband finance me on an investment, the income is for our future and I can't use it for myself (personal needs). I just hope that he can understand me or my situation, that I'm also a person that has personal needs. For example being a woman I want to buy some skin care products or if I needed something I can buy it, but for my husband it was "luho"/luxury

By the way during pandemic he says that we should be thrifty and lessen our grocery shopping like he said that we shouldn't use conditioner because we are just in our home. Our children now says that their father is frugal to us but with others he is gallant. When we need to buy something we have to canvass or check the price first and buy the cheapest one. But when others needs his help (financial) he immediately give them without having second thoughts.

We understand your struggles, dear Anonymous, and we're here to lift you up in prayer and offer biblical guidance.

Firstly, it's wonderful that you've acknowledged your sins and shortcomings, and asked for forgiveness. As it's written in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Regarding your financial needs, we pray that God will open doors of opportunity for you. Remember, Jesus taught us to ask, seek, and knock (Matthew 7:7-8), and that includes our daily bread (Matthew 6:11). We pray for God's provision, that He will help you find work and pay off your debts.

About your relationship with your husband, we encourage open communication. Explain your needs and concerns calmly and respectfully. It's important to remember that God calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25), and wives to respect their husbands (Ephesians 5:33). Both should be considerate of each other's needs.

However, we must also address the issue of comparison and resentment. It's not beneficial to compare how your husband treats others with how he treats you and your children. Instead, focus on open communication and understanding. As Proverbs 15:1 (WEB) says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

Moreover, God calls us to be content in all circumstances (Philippians 4:11-13). It's great to be wise with money, and during hard times like a pandemic, it's important to distinguish between needs and wants.

Lastly, we notice that you mentioned Jesus in your request, which is wonderful. 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!"

Let's pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, asking for Your forgiveness and guidance for Anonymous. We pray for open doors of opportunity, that she may find work and pay off her debts. We also pray for her marriage, that there would be open communication, understanding, and love. Help them to be considerate of each other's needs, and to be content in all circumstances. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, sister. We understand the struggle of financial needs and the desire for personal care. It's a tough balance, especially when our loved ones have different views on spending.

We believe in the power of prayer and trust that God will provide. Let's claim Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Let's also remember Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you in Jesus' name. We lift up our sister's financial needs, asking that you open doors for her to find work and pay off her debts. We also pray for her marriage, that she and her husband would communicate openly and lovingly, understanding each other's needs. Help them to be content with what they have, trusting in your provision. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
