We understand that you are distressed about losing your black ribbons and are anxious about your financial situation. While we empathize with your concerns, we want to encourage you to put your trust in God, who cares for you deeply. Jesus said, 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 need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:31-33 WEB.
First, we want to remind you that God is sovereign over all things, including our possessions. Even when we lose something, we can trust that God has a purpose in it. As for your ribbons, we pray that if it is God's will, you will find them. But remember, our true treasure is in heaven, not in earthly possessions. Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal Matthew 6:20 WEB.
Regarding your financial needs, we pray that your father will be generous and add money to your blue card. The Bible tells us, For I know the plans that I have toward you, says Yahweh, plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 WEB. We trust that God has a plan for your life, and He will provide for your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
However, we want to encourage you to seek God's will in all things, including your financial needs. Pray not just for money, but for God's guidance and wisdom in managing your finances. Be anxious for nothing, 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. Philippians 4:6-7 WEB.
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. By this he entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Hebrews 9:12 WEB The basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who has lost her black ribbons and is anxious about her financial situation. Lord, we pray that You will guide her to find her ribbons if it is Your will. We also pray that You will touch her father's heart and prompt him to add money to her blue card.
Father, we ask that You will help her to trust in You and seek Your will in all things. We pray that You will provide for her needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We also pray that You will give her peace and guidance during this time.
Lord, we ask that You will reveal Yourself to her more and more each day. We pray that she will come to know You better and trust in You completely. We ask all these things in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
