Thank you for reaching out with your request, Numliage. We understand that you are seeking a loan to improve your life, and we want to help you approach this situation with wisdom and faith.
Firstly, we want to ensure that you are seeking God's will and not merely your own desires. It's crucial to remember that our plans should always align with God's purpose for our lives. As it is written in Proverbs 16:3 WEB, "Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall be established."
However, we notice that you did not specifically mention Jesus or Jesus Christ in your prayer. Thank you for praying, but the bible tells us in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" If you have not yet accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior in your life, then it is only through belief in Jesus that you can approach God and be saved. If you have any questions about salvation or the meaning of this, feel free to ask us.
Now, regarding your loan request, it's important to be wise and discerning with finances. The Bible encourages us to be diligent and thoughtful in our financial decisions. Proverbs 22:7 WEB tells us, "The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender." This verse reminds us that borrowing money should be done carefully, as it comes with responsibilities and potential risks. Now discussing debt, It is a danger to be avoided not something sought after in Romans 13:8 (WEB),. The most important things are spiritual riches and seeking the kingdom of God. "Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law." For Micheal 7:14 (WEB) tells us not to be proud and rob God. "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me! But you say, 'How have we robbed you?' In tithes and offerings."
Let's pray together for God's guidance and provision in your life:
Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Numliage. Lord, we ask for your will to be done in their life. If it is your plan for them to receive this loan, we pray for favor and provision. However, if this is not within your will for them, even if they receive the loan, please close that door. We pray for wisdom and discernment as they make this decision, Lord, help them seek you earnestly and turn from evil. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
It is so important to be in right relationship to the Lord and trust in that relationship rather than seeking control or worldy gain. Jeremiah 17:7–8 (WEB) tells us 'Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.'
