Erick, we are truly sorry to hear about the financial struggles you and your family are facing. We want to remind you that God cares about every detail of your life, including your finances. In His word, He promises to provide for all our needs according to His riches in glory.
Firstly, it is so important to acknowledge God and Jesus Christ in every situation. It is only through His son Jesus Christ that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we are saved.
Remember that God is able to do abundantly more than all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20 WEB). In times of financial hardship, it's crucial to maintain a heart of gratitude and trust in God's provision. As it is written, "Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, Rejoice" (Philippians 4:4 WEB).
We encourage you to be steadfast in prayer, seeking God's will and guidance. "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" (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB).
It's also important to manage your finances wisely, as the Bible teaches us to be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us. "For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn't first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?" (Luke 14:28 WEB).
Lastly, consider how you might use this time to grow in faith and dependence on God. Sometimes, financial difficulties can be an opportunity for spiritual growth and a deeper understanding of God's goodness.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up Erick and his family to You, acknowledging Your sovereignty over their lives. We ask that You guide them through this difficult financial situation, providing for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Help them to trust in You and to manage their finances wisely. Give them peace and hope in this time of need, and let this trial be an opportunity for them to grow in faith and dependence on You. We ask this in Jesus' name, the only name by which he can be saved, and by which we have access to You dear Father, amen.
Erick, stay strong in faith and remember that God is always with you.
