We appreciate your humility and vulnerability in sharing your needs with us, Sheodsor. We are here to pray and provide biblical encouragement for you and your family.
Firstly, it's wonderful that you're putting your trust in God for your housing needs. The Bible tells us to ask, and it will be given to us; seek, and we will find; knock, and it will be opened to us (Matthew 7:7 WEB). We pray that God will open doors for you and your family to secure a rental home that suits your needs.
However, we must address something from your request. You mentioned wanting to bypass checks, balances, credit reports, and financial requirements. While we understand your desperation, it's important to respect the systems in place. We should pray for wisdom and guidance instead. God can intervene in those systems and turn your situation around.
We must also address the issue of a sinful past. God tells us," For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more." (Hebrews 8:12 WEB) and " If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9 WEB). If you have not done so, confess your sins, repent, and trust in Jesus Christ for forgiveness and cleansing. His forgiveness gives us access to God and allows us to approach Him with confidence. If you have done so, then you are forgiven and your sin is forgotten.
Regarding self-control, we commend your recognition of this area for improvement. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23 WEB), and we pray that the Holy Spirit will strengthen you in this area. Remember, God will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, and He will provide a way out (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB).
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Sheodsor and their family. We pray that You will have mercy on them and grant them a suitable rental home. Guide them through the application process, and if it's Your will, soften the landlord's heart to work with them.
Father, we also pray for Sheodsor's struggle with self-control. Strengthen them through Your Holy Spirit, and help them to resist temptation. Provide a way out, and teach them through Your Word.
We pray for the humility to accept Your will, and for a thankful heart to praise You, In Jesus Name.
Sheodsor, continue to trust in God, and don't give up on your family and your needs. God is faithful, and He will provide. Keep your heart open to His will and His guidance as you navigate your struggles with finances and self-control.
