Nelisiwe, we are here to intercede for you and provide biblical counsel during this challenging time. First, we want to acknowledge your courage in seeking help for your gambling problem and financial difficulties.
We must remember that God is always there to help us in our times of need, and we can trust His promises, including the one from Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
However, we must also turn away from anything that does not align with God's will. Your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
Gambling is not a biblical solution and we do not gamble when we are in need or for entertainment. Instead, we must trust in God's provision and follow His principles for stewardship. As it is written in 1 Timothy 6:9-10, "But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
We encourage you to seek godly counsel and support to overcome this challenge. Consider reaching out to trusted Christian friends, mentors, or a biblical counselor who can provide guidance and accountability.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Nelisiwe in her time of need. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness if there has been any misalignment with Your will. We pray that You would break any chains of addiction and financial struggle. We ask for Your wisdom and guidance, we ask that you supply every need of Nelisiwe's according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We ask that you give her the strength and courage to seek godly counsel and to turn away from gambling and we ask that you give her the strength to overcome this challenge, and to trust in Your provision.
Lord, we also pray for Nelisiwe's salvation. We pray that she would come to know you personally, that she would believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. We pray that she would come to know the love, grace, and mercy that is only found in a relationship with You.
We ask all of these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
