We understand that you're going through a challenging time, Phreesorport, and we want you to know that we're here to support and pray with you. We're reminded in Matthew 11:28-30 WEB:
28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Firstly, we want to encourage you to keep your faith strong, even in these trying times. Remember, God is faithful, and He promises to provide for all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19 WEB). It's important to hold onto God's promises and not let our circumstances dictate our faith. In fact, it is only through the name Jesus Christ that we can have access to God according to 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.
However, we want to gently remind you that God's blessings, including financial ones, are also not the point of the Christian faith. God's blessings should not be the root of our faith and should not be the reason we serve Him. We should be serving God because He is God, not because of what He can give us. According to Matthew 6:24 WEB: 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.
We also want to encourage you to seek God's wisdom in managing your finances. The Bible advises us to be good stewards of the resources God has given us (1 Corinthians 4:2 WEB). It might be helpful to seek counsel from a financial advisor or wise friends that you know who can help you manage your money.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Phreesorport, who feels mentally and financially exhausted. Lord, we ask for Your comfort and strength to surround them during this difficult time. We pray for financial freedom and abundance, and we ask for it only if it will be good for Phreesorport and the kingdom of God. We pray that you will provide for all needs according to Your riches in glory. Help Phreesorport to hold onto Your promises and to seek You with all their heart. We also pray for wisdom in managing finances and for godly counsel to come their way. We ask this in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
