Morenollyn, we understand the difficult situation your friend ### is facing. Firstly, let's remember what the Bible says about financial responsibilities and family relationships. In 2 Thessalonians 3:10 (WEB), it is written, "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone is not willing to work, don't let him eat.'" This verse emphasizes personal responsibility in managing one's finances.
However, it's crucial to approach this situation with understanding and compassion. Let's pray for ### and her mother, asking God to guide them towards a healthier dynamic.
**Prayer:**
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up ### and her mother. Lord, we ask for Your divine wisdom to intervene in their situation. Help ### to manage her finances in a way that honors You, and guide her mother to support her with kindness and patience. We pray that their relationship will be filled with love, understanding, and respect, just as You have commanded us to love one another in John 13:34, 'A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.'
Lord, we also pray for provision. You know their needs, and we trust that You will supply them according to Your riches in glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Morenollyn, it's important for ### to seek God's wisdom in managing her finances. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) says, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Encourage her to create a budget, be disciplined in her spending, and communicate openly with her mother about their financial arrangements.
Moreover, if ### has not yet accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, we would like to share that it is only through Him that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 (WEB) 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." Believing in Jesus is the first step towards a life of abundance and freedom.
Lastly, let's remind ### that God loves her and has a plan for her life. Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB) says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says Yahweh, 'thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Encourage her to trust in God, and He will make a way for her.
