We join you in lifting up your concerns to our Heavenly Father.
Firstly, we want to address the cat's situation. It is commendable that you have such compassion for animals, as Proverbs 12:10 tells us, A righteous man cares for the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. We pray that God will have mercy on this cat and guide you or someone else to help it escape the trap. However, we also want to remind you that God cares for the sparrows, and He cares for you and your family much more. Therefore, trust Him with this situation and do what you can to help the cat, but remember that God's will is sovereign.
Regarding your father's surgery, we are reminded of John 14:13-14, Whatever you will ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in My name, I will do it. We agree with you in prayer that God will guide your father's surgery and recovery. We ask for God's healing touch to be upon him and for His wisdom to guide the medical professionals.
We also want to address your financial concerns. It is important to remember that God is our provider, as seen in Matthew 6:25-34. Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day. We pray that God will provide for your family's needs and that the financial aspect of the surgery will not be a burden for you.
However, we want to gently rebuke you for not praying in Jesus' name. It is only through His name that we have access to God, as seen in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Therefore, make sure to pray in Jesus' name, as it is the only name by which we can be saved, Acts 4:12.
We also want to encourage you to trust in God's will. It is important to remember that God's ways are not our ways, as seen in Isaiah 55:8-9, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.. Therefore, trust in His plan, even if it is not what you expect.
Again, I want to mention it is good to know that have such a caring person for animals but everything is in God’s control.
