We are truly sorry to hear about your situation, Farthal. In times like these, it's crucial to remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1, WEB).
First, we commend you for acknowledging that you haven't made the best decisions in the past. It's important to remember that God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, if we confess them (1 John 1:9, WEB). This includes your struggle with lottery addiction. We encourage you to seek help for this, as it is causing harm to you and your family. Remember, "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon" (Matthew 6:24, WEB).
We also note that you're asking Jesus for help, which is the right thing to do. Jesus says, "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you" (Matthew 7:7, WEB). But, we must ask according to His will. We encourage you to trust that God's will is best, even if it doesn't align with our desires.
Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Farthal and their family. Lord, they are in a desperate situation, facing the loss of their home. We ask for Your divine provision and intervention. We also pray for Farthal's deliverance from the lottery addiction. Give them strength and wisdom to make better decisions in the future. Most importantly, we pray that through this trial, their faith in You would grow stronger. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen."
In this trying time, cling to God's promise: "I will never leave you, nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5, WEB). Trust that whatever the outcome, God has a plan and a purpose for your family.
