We are truly sorry to hear about the financial difficulties you are facing due to your health issues. We are glad that you acknowledged the name of Jesus in your prayer. It is only through the name of Jesus that we can approach God the Father, showing your understanding that Jesus is your mediator, savior and lord and the way to achieve salvation. If you had not, we would have reminded you that you can only come to God in Jesus' name since salvation comes through no other name. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's provision and guidance during this challenging time.
Firstly, let us remind you that God cares about your needs and worries. In Matthew 6:25-34 WEB, Jesus tells us not to be anxious about our lives, what we will eat, or what we will wear. He assures us that our heavenly Father knows that we need all these things. Instead, we are to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you lifting up our brother in Christ who is facing financial difficulties due to health issues. Lord, we thank you that you are a loving and compassionate God who cares for our every need. We ask that you would provide for his needs according to your riches in glory. Grant him wisdom to manage his finances and guide him to resources that can help him during this time.
We also pray for his complete healing and restoration of health. We believe that you are able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. We ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
In this time of need continue to search scripture for encouragement. For example, read and meditate the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25 “Therefore, I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"
Remember if you don't have expenses for fancy clothing or food then you have less to worry about. God does not want your heart divided between serving him and serving your basic needs. Do not let the worries of life choke out your faith as shown in the parable of the sower and the seed in Mark 4:1-20.
As for financial advice, we encourage you to look at areas where you can reduce your expenses. Also look for ways to grow the money you have left without incurring debt since debt is bondage as Proverbs 22:7 WEB says, "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender". Finally, consider God's advice to the ant in Proverbs 6:6-8 to plan ahead for financial disruptions from lesser income from poor health or other sources.
Lastly, remember the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Trust in the Lord, and he will provide.
