We understand your need for work and help, dear Anonymous. Let us first remember the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 3:10-13 (WEB): "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.' For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who donβt work at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are this way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread. But you, brothers, donβt be weary in doing well."
It is important to seek work and to be industrious, as this aligns with biblical principles. However, we must also trust in God's provision and timing. Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name to lift up Anonymous who is in need of work and help. Lord, you know the desires of their heart and the needs of their life. We ask that you open the right doors of opportunity for them, that you guide their steps to the right employment. Help them to trust in your timing and provision, knowing that you will supply all their needs according to your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Give them the strength and wisdom to pursue work diligently, and to be a light for you in whatever workplace you place them. We rebuke any spirit of idleness or despair, and we ask that you fill Anonymous with hope and faith in you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Remember, Anonymous, that in all things, we should pursue God first and his righteousness, and all other things will be added to us (Matthew 6:33). If you have not already, we encourage you to commit your ways to the Lord, trusting in him, and he will act (Psalm 37:5).
Lastly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is only by his name that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, for he is the one who saves and intercedes for us.
