Let's bring your concern to the Lord, Martha. First, we want to encourage you to trust in God's provision and timing. It's crucial to remember that God cares for us and knows our needs. As it says in Matthew 6:31-33 WEB:
"Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
While we understand your urgency, it's important to note that the Bible encourages us not to worry but to trust in God. However, this does not mean we should not be responsible with our finances. Moving forward, consider using more secure and traceable methods to send payments to avoid such situations reoccurring.
Now, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Martha. Lord, You know her situation and the anxiety she's facing due to the delayed payments. We pray for Your divine intervention, that the checks would not be lost or misused, and that they would arrive at their destinations today. We rebuke any spirit of fear and anxiety, and we ask for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard Martha's heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Father, we also pray for Martha to grow in faith and patience, knowing that You are always in control. Help her to make wise decisions in managing her finances. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Martha, remember that it is important to always include the name of Jesus when you pray. It is by His name that we have access to come before God to present our needs and requests.
"For 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?" Romans 10:13-14 WEB
If you have not already, believe in Jesus Christ, that He died for your sins, and rose from the dead. Then confess Him as Lord of your life, and call upon His name whenever you pray.
