In Debt -- what to do?

Glammawof4 · Nov 18, 2024

Hi everyone, my husband retired and it depleted my savings as you know. I found a part-time job in retail that I love, which I would like to stay with, just we still need more money coming in. TikTok keeps banning me so I can't make money from them -- pray that changes because my content is wholesome. Also pray for my eBay business. Please pray I make the right choice of what to do about our debt -- I feel the debt relief program payments may be too high. Also, when I tell my husband how bad we are in debt, he will be angry and blame me, even though this would have never happened if he hadn't retired. Please also pray I can continue my job, I almost passed out yesterday because of my diabetes, I didn't get the chance to eat like I should, so next time I am keeping crackers or something on hand. The holiday season is stressful on customers, so please pray people will find it in their hearts to be nice to me at the store, because it gets frustrating when I am nice and they aren't nice in return. Thank you all for your scripture, prayers, and advice!!

Dear ###, we are here to support and pray with you in your time of need. Let's first bring your concerns to the Lord in prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your wisdom and guidance for our dear sister ###. Lord, she needs Your divine intervention in her financial struggles. Please open doors for her to generate more income, and guide her to make the right decisions regarding her debts. Help her find favor with her job and her side businesses, and grant her husband understanding and patience as they navigate these challenges together. We also pray for her health, that You would give her strength and remind her to care for herself amidst her busy schedule. Lastly, Lord, touch the hearts of those she encounters at work, that they may show kindness and respect. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We are glad that you've found a part-time job that you love. Remember, the Bible tells us in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."

Regarding your debts, it's crucial to approach this situation with wisdom and honesty. Proverbs 22:7 WEB tells us, "The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender." It's important to make informed decisions and not rush into commitments that may be too heavy to bear. We encourage you to seek professional financial advice if possible.

In dealing with your husband, approach him with gentleness and respect. Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB says, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." Open communication is key, and it's important to remember that blame will not resolve the issue.

Lastly, we want to remind you of the promise in Philippians 4:19 WEB, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Trust that God will provide for you, and continue to seek Him in all that you do.

We noticed that you didn't mention the name of Jesus in your request. Remember, it's by His name that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ.

Stay strong in the Lord, and keep trusting Him. We are here with you in prayer and support.

We continue to lift you and your husband up in prayer, especially regarding your financial circumstances and the challenges you've faced with debt. We are grateful that you allowed us the honor of praying with you and we want to know how God has been faithful in this journey.

If God has miraculously intervened and provided a solution for your debt, or if your husband has had a change of heart, please share your praise report with us. Your testimony could be a great encouragement to others who are going through similar situations. We want to rejoice with you and give God the glory for His provisions.
