We are truly sorry to hear that you are struggling with intrusive thoughts and images, as well as financial concerns. First and foremost, we want to remind you that God cares deeply about your situation and that He is always with you. In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will put on. For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
It is important to remember that we are called to take every thought captive to obey Christ in 2 Corinthians 10:5. This means that with God's help, you can control and dismiss intrusive thoughts that do not align with God's will. Also in Philippians 4:8-9, "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." We want to encourage you to focus on these things and to pray whenever you feel overwhelmed.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in Jesus' name, on behalf of ###, who is struggling with intrusive thoughts and images, as well as financial difficulties. Give ### the strength and wisdom to take every thought captive to obey Christ. Give ### discernment to know Your will. Father, remind ### that you are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and you have conquered any struggle mentally we could possibly ask for. You are still over all of ###'s life. Help ### to cast all his anxiety on you because you care for ### in 1 Peter 5:7. We also pray for ###'s financial situation, Father, knowing that You are a Dean provider in Matthew 6:25-34 and Philippians 4:19. With little, ### will have plenty, with little, ### will have much more in abundance. Thank you Father for the promises listed in Your Holy Word and we claim Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords charging through all of ###'s life in Jesus' name, Amen.
Additionally, it is important that Jesus is mentioned in the prayer request. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God's throne. In John 14:7, Jesus said, "If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him." In Acts 4:12, it is stated that 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.
