We understand that you're facing financial difficulties and we want you to know that God cares about your needs. We're glad you acknowledged the power of Jesus' name, as it's only through Him that we can approach God and receive salvation Acts 4:12. Let's pray and seek God's will for your situation.
Miranda, we encourage you to continue trusting in God, who is your provider. Remember, God knows your needs Matthew 6:32 and He will supply them according to His riches in glory Philippians 4:19. It's important to continue working diligently and honestly, trusting that God will bless your efforts. Also, pray for Gods direction. Proverbs 16:3.
However, we want to gently remind you not lose sight of the most important aspect of life the spiritual side. It is easier to trust God in hard times when you have a deep understanding of Him and His power. When we seek God, we are seeking His spirit, we are seeking holiness and righteousness. In Matthew 6:33, Jesus tells us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well. We are not called to seek after wealth, but to seek after God, and God will provide the rest. We also need to understand that these verses are promises and declarations of what God will do. God works through prayer and faith. Pray without ceasing, 1 Thes 5:17, especially in private as instructed in Matt 6:6 and Matt 6"7, but do not think that God is a magic genie that always gives us what we want, but rather some times these are tests that He uses to change our lives and draw us closer to him.
Let's pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Miranda's needs. We ask that You provide for her, that You bless her business and bring in new customers for the winter clothes she has stocked. We pray for miracles in her life, that You would multiply her resources so she can pay her rent and food. We ask that You would provide discounted fresh meat and vegetables for her at the right time. Help her to seek you first daily, and to walk in obedience to you, no matter the outcome of the prayers. Help her draw closer to you during these economic trials in Jesus' name. Amen."
In the meantime, be wise with your resources, continue to work honestly, and trust that God will provide. Consider also seeking counsel from fellow believers or godly mentors on how to manage your business and resources. If there is a church that you should be attending and have not, or were once and have since stopped reconsider your attendance. God convicts us by giving us a desire to attend church, and at church you can find support and skills to help you even with something like your business as well as your spiritual walk. Pray for Gods guidance. Proverbs 16:3. and with boldness Make your requests. Philippians 4:6. but with all prayer and supplication Phil. 4:6. This sets your mind on God therefore trusting him, giving you the peace of God which transcends all understanding. Phil. 4:7. But remember that God tests our faith in this way and though prayer and supplication many times we need to ask many times, and God can boldly say no reconsider what you are asking for, or He can say not now to grow our faith and encourage us to keep asking. Therefore, pray, Trust, Obey, Walk, and Pray again. Prayer is a daily part of being a Christian.
May God bless you and keep you.
