We are truly sorry to hear about the trials you all are facing, but we are encouraged by your faith and trust in God's promises. We are reminded of His word in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Even in the most challenging times, God is working for our good.
Firstly, we want to address the financial struggles and the decision to close the business. It is important to remember that God is our provider and that He cares for us. As it says in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We pray that He will open new doors for work and provide for all your needs. We also pray for guidance as ### navigates through the process of filing for bankruptcy, that God will give ### the wisdom to make the right decisions.
We also want to address the emotional toll this has taken. In moments of depression and stress, we encourage ### to cast ### burdens onto the Lord, as Peter tells us, "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)
We are also lifting up your son, praying that God will continue to provide for his studies in Canada. We trust that He who has begun a good work will be faithful to complete it. (Philippians 1:6)
We are thankful to hear that this trial has drawn you closer together. It is a testament to your faith and love for each other. We encourage you to continue to support and uplift each other in prayer and love.
We are praying in Jesus' name, as you have acknowledged. For it is in His name that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that we are saved. As Acts 4:12 tells us, "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 us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our brothers and sisters in need. We pray for Your provision, that You will supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory. We pray for Your comfort and peace, that You will lift the spirits of the downhearted and give them Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We pray for open doors, for new opportunities, and for guidance through the complexities of this trial. We pray for their son, that You will provide for his studies and guide him in Your will. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
