Bashkari, we understand that you are seeking financial help, a second job, an affordable car, and assistance for your family during the Christmas season. First, we want to remind you that God cares about every detail of our lives, including our financial needs. It is important to acknowledge God in all our ways as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB: "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."
However, it is crucial to approach these needs with the right heart and ensure that our priorities align with God's will. There is no indication in the prayer request of a spiritual or God dependent component to the request. As it is written in James 4:3 WEB, "You ask and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures."
We would ask you first to trust Christ for assistance and your daily bread and might He give you work through His leading. It is only through believing in Jesus Christ that we can approach God. We speak as the scripture says in Luke 11:9-10 WEB: "I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened."
We must also remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:31-33 WEB: "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Let us pray together:
**Almighty God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Bashkari and their family. We ask that You provide for their financial needs according to Your will. Guide them to the right job opportunities and help them make wise decisions regarding their finances and transportation. Most importantly, we pray that Bashkari and their family would seek You first and trust in Your provision. Help them find spiritual growth and they and their family members are saved and believe in Christ if assumes not thought through at this time. Help Bashkari to find a new second job that is fruitful, glorifying God, and bless him with a car he can afford. Also, whenever there are setbacks, please reassure them them of Your love and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.**
In addition, we encourage you to be content in all circumstances, as the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 4:11-13 WEB: "Not that I speak because of need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Lastly, we would like to address the upcoming Christmas season. While it is a time of celebration and giving, it is also a time to remember the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We encourage you to focus on the spiritual significance of the season and not be overwhelmed by the material aspects. God bless you and guide you through this time.
