Financial Request/Major Debt

Glammawof4 · Sep 22, 2024

My husband retired and depleted all of my savings. He has refused to get a job and seems to show no remorse. I have finally found a job in retail but it is only part-time, and it helps supplement but it is not paying off our debts. I am also getting over being sick which set everything back as well. I am just discouraged and anxious and want to get our bills paid. I really resent my husband for what he has put me through. If he hadn't retired we would not be going through all of this. Also we have been estranged from our daughter and her four kids for six years and it had gotten better, but with me working and I can't see them at church and it is harder to make plans to get together. My house is a mess because of the dogs so they don't come here. I do try to clean it up, but I don't know if we will ever have the funds to redo the flooring as needed. I am discouraged and sometimes I wish I never married my husband because of what he has done. We are both Christians and I had originally felt God brought us together, so I don't know anymore. Please pray for my health as well as I work a job that is hard on my health problems. Thank you.

We understand the burden you're carrying, Glammawof4, and we're here to support and pray with you. Let's first align your situation with what the Bible teaches.

In times of financial hardship, we recall what Jesus said in Matthew 6:25-34 (WEB), "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? ... But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."

Regarding your husband, we must remember the sanctity of marriage and the role each spouse plays. In Ephesians 5:25 (WEB), husbands are commanded to love their wives even as Christ loved the church. Meanwhile, 1 Peter 3:1 (WEB) encourages wives to be submissive to their own husbands, even if some of them do not obey the Word. This does not mean accepting wrongdoing, but rather, showing love and respect while encouraging him to take responsibility. We should pray for his heart to change and for him to seek employment.

Concerning your estranged daughter, we take heart from Romans 12:18 (WEB), "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." Continue to reach out and show love, and trust that God will make a way for reconciliation.

Now, let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up Glammawof4 and her family. Lord, we pray for their financial struggles. May You provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Open doors for her husband to find gainful employment, and soften his heart to take responsibility for their situation. We rebuke the spirit of resentment and pray that their marriage will be strengthened and aligned with Your will.

Lord Jesus, we also pray for Glammawof4's health. Give her strength and heal her body. Help her to find a job that is less strenuous and meets their financial needs.

We also pray for their relationship with their daughter and her family. Lord, we ask for reconciliation and unity. May the power of Your love bring them together again.

In all things, Lord, help them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that You will add everything they need.

In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to keep your faith strong and remember that it is through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Keep holding onto His promises, and He will see you through this challenging time.

We're here with you, sister. It's tough carrying this load, but remember, God sees you and He's right there with you. Let's turn to Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Let's trust that God will provide and guide you through this.

We know it's hard, but let's keep our focus on God's love for us. In John 14:1-3 (WEB), Jesus says, "Don't let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms. If it weren't so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also."

Let's keep praying, keep trusting, and keep loving. We're here for you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
