We understand the difficulty Morenollyn's friend Lisa is experiencing with her financial situation and the strain it's putting on their relationship. Let's address this together in prayer and through biblical guidance.
Firstly, we must remember what the WEB version of the Bible says in Matthew 6:24, "No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon." While money is important for daily needs, it should not become a source of stress and strife that overshadows our service to God and love for each other.
In Philippians 4:6-7, the Bible encourages us, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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." Instead of anxiety and arguing, let's encourage Lisa and her mom to turn to God in prayer, seeking His provision and wisdom.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Lisa and her mother. Lord, You know their financial struggles and the tension it's causing. We ask for Your divine provision, that You would supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). We pray for wisdom for Lisa in managing her money, and for her mother, that she may be patient and understanding. Help them to communicate in love and respect, turning away from harsh words and accusations. And Lord, we pray that through this situation, they would both draw closer to You, seeking Your will and guidance. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Morenollyn, we also encourage you to support Lisa and her mom, reminding them of God's faithfulness and love. If Lisa is not yet turning to Jesus Christ in her life, this could be an opportune time to share the hope and salvation found in Him alone. Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
