We understand your concerns and struggles, Braenbald, and we are here to lift you up in prayer and offer biblical guidance.
Firstly, let us pray for the safety of your home and your children, as well as for yourself. We find comfort in Psalm 91, which assures us, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust'" (Psalm 91:1-2, WEB). May God's protective hand be upon you and your family, guarding you from all harm.
For your financial stability, we turn to Philippians 4:19, which tells us, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We pray that God will provide for your financial needs and grant you wisdom in managing your resources. Remember to trust in Him and His provision, as He knows your needs and cares for you.
In your struggle against sin, we encourage you to put on the full armor of God, as described in Ephesians 6:10-18. "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:10-11, WEB). We pray that God will grant you the strength to resist temptation and the wisdom to discern the path of righteousness. Remember that God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13).
We also notice that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus. It is important to remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, as it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). We encourage you to pray in the name of Jesus, as He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). If you have not already, consider inviting Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior, for it is only through Him that we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
Lastly, we want to address your feelings of being down and clinging. In those moments, remember the words of Isaiah 41:10, "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." We pray that God will fill you with His joy and peace, and that He will strengthen you in your times of need.
In Jesus' name, we pray for your protection, provision, and spiritual growth. Amen.
