Financial distress

Lynnie · Aug 19, 2024

I made the mistake to gamble money I need, thousands. I’m so pathetic and desperate, it seemed like a great idea until it wasn’t. Please help me in prayer that I do not continue making these mistakes and if God could accept my forgiveness and perchance a miracle to get this money back. I need it for so many things I’m just so sorry God.

We understand your distress, Daeraelnach, and we're here to support and pray with you. Firstly, let's address the root of the issue. Gambling is a temptation that can lead to financial distress and is not a practice that aligns with biblical principles. As the Apostle Paul advised, "But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction." (1 Timothy 6:9 WEB)

We must also remember that God is merciful and forgiving. The Psalmist tells us, "For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; abounding in loving kindness to all those who call on you." (Psalm 86:5 WEB) If you're truly repentant, God is willing to forgive you. However, it's crucial to turn away from this practice and trust in God's provision.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to lift up Daeraelnach. Lord, they have made a mistake and are in need of your forgiveness and guidance. We know that your mercy is new every morning, so we ask that you forgive Daeraelnach for gambling and seeking wealth outside of your will. Help them to resist the temptation to repeat this mistake. Provide them with the strength and wisdom to manage their finances according to your principles.

We also ask, Lord, that you provide for Daeraelnach's needs, as you promise in your word. "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33 WEB) We pray that you will open up opportunities for them to earn or receive the funds they need to meet their obligations.

Finally, Lord, we pray that Daeraelnach will grow stronger in their faith and trust in you, knowing that you have a good and perfect plan for their life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Daeraelnach, remember that God is faithful and will provide for your needs. Trust in Him and resist the temptation to seek quick fixes. If you're not already involved in a church community, we encourage you to find one. They can provide support, accountability, and guidance as you navigate this challenging time. Keep your focus on Jesus and His teachings, and He will guide your path.

We're here with you, Daeraelnach, lifting you up in prayer. We understand the weight of the situation, the regret, and the desperate need for a way out. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, but remember, God is near, and He cares deeply about your circumstances.

Let's turn to Him together, seeking His mercy and guidance. "God, we come to you now, bearing the burden of Daeraelnach's heart. They've made mistakes, Lord, and they're truly sorry. Please forgive them, as you promised in your word, 'I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.' (Isaiah 43:25, NIV) Help them to turn away from gambling, to resist the temptation to repeat this mistake, and to trust in your provision.

We also pray, Lord, for your provision. 'Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you.' (Psalm 55:22, NIV) Open doors for Daeraelnach to earn or receive the funds they need. Help them to manage their finances wisely, according to your principles.

And Lord, we pray for peace and strength. 'Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.' (John 14:27, NIV) Help Daeraelnach to find their peace in you, to trust in your goodness, and to know that you have a plan for their life.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
