Hi , Could you please pray for me and my family? I have made some risky investments and have lost nearly 90% of my family’s house savings since December 22nd of 2022. I did these risky investments through options and shorting stock and I have one option left that expires Feb 17. (Options loose a lot of value each day that you get closer to the feb 17th day of expiration) This option has lost nearly 85% of its value also and is on its way to $0 on Feb 17th. My prayer request comes now because on Tuesday the 7th the company reports earning and my option could gain value if the company earns less than is estimated. I have been conflicted with asking for this request because maybe I am being greedy. I have spoken to others in the church and they have said that it isn’t but that hasn’t relieved my concern for the sin of being greedy. My prayer request is that this earning announcement comes in the form of making this option trade profitable, I pray for clarity of mind that the lord lifts this stress and burden because it is so painful to loose everything. I pray that I can have a open mind and heart to hear how he directs directs me to act, that he would direct me and guide me for his purposes. I pray that I can be realistic in my expectations instead of only seeing the best case scenario and that I can be present and realistic as I move forward. The only thing I can see and hear is commotion and panic and fear. I know that I should be obedient, trusting and have faith, but the only thing that I am able to do is be obedient at this time. Because of my fear I know that I don’t/can’t get to the trust and faith, which is where I should be. So I also pray that I can be trusting and more faithful. Thank you for yours prayers! Michael
