Thank you for sharing your request with us, Shaalkaari. We're excited to hear about the new developments in your life, and we want to pray and offer some biblical encouragement as you navigate this new chapter.
Firstly, we want to remind you that all good things come from God, and He is the one who provides us with the abilities and opportunities to obtain new possessions and achieve our goals. As it says in James 1:17 WEB Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
It's wonderful to have a new phone and a place to call your own, but let's remember to keep our priorities in check. Material possessions should never become idols in our lives. As Jesus Christ said Luke 12:15 WEB:
He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
Regarding your income, we're happy to hear that you have a steady job. Remember to be a good steward of the resources God has entrusted to you. It's important to budget wisely, give generously, and save prudently. As Proverbs 21:5 WEB
The thoughts of the diligent surely lead to plenty; but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
Now, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Shaalkaari. Thank You for the new phone and apartment You've provided for them. Help them to use these gifts responsibly and for Your glory. Guide them in managing their income wisely, and help them to be a blessing to others through their generosity. Keep their heart focused on You, and may they never let material possessions become idols in their life. Draw them closer to You, and help them to grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus Christ.
If Shaalkaari has not believed in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, then we pray that they will. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can have access to God. 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!”
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, Shaalkaari, we want to encourage you to keep God at the center of your life. Pursue Him daily, and seek His will in all you do. If you have not already done so, make sure that you have believed in Jesus Christ.
