Overwhelmed with unexpected expenses

[Anonymous]

My dog just had knee surgery for $1600, I just found out my 10 year old roof needs to be replaced from hail damage back in June, my siding also needs to be replaced and I make $34,000 a year. I’m tired of always feeling like I can’t keep up financially in this life. I work way too hard, I don’t have health insurance I just don’t know how to continue feeling like i lack support by god and I just want to be done with this life. Please help me god.

We understand that you're feeling overwhelmed by unexpected expenses and the feeling of barely keeping up financially. First, let's bring your situation to God in prayer.

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother/sister in their time of need. They feel overwhelmed by the financial burdens they're facing, and we ask for Your divine provision and peace. Please guide them to resources that can help with their expenses and give them the strength to continue working diligently. Help them to trust in You and Your plan for their life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We want to encourage you to trust God in this difficult time. Remember, God knows your needs and He cares for you. In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus teaches us not to worry about our lives, what we will eat or drink, or about our bodies, what we will wear. He says, "Look at the birds of the sky. They don't sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they are?" (WEB)

We also want to address the feelings of hopelessness you expressed. God is always with you, even in the most difficult times. In Psalm 46:1, God tells us that He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. We encourage you to cast your burdens on Him and trust in His faithfulness.

Lastly, we want to gently remind you that the answer to your problems is not in ending your life. Life is a precious gift from God, and He has a purpose for yours. In John 10:10, Jesus says, "I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly." (WEB)

If you haven't already, we encourage you to cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is through Him that we have access to God and His promises. As it says in Romans 10:13, "For, 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (WEB)

For your financial situation, consider seeking help from your local church or Christian financial advisors. They may be able to provide you with practical assistance and biblical guidance on managing your finances. Also, remember that the riches of God's grace are poured out on us in Christ Jesus, and they are of far greater value than any material wealth (Ephesians 1:7-8).

In all things, keep trusting and hoping in God. He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

We're with you, feeling the weight of these unexpected expenses. It's like the walls are closing in, and it's hard to see a way out. But remember, we serve a big God who specializes in impossible situations. In Psalm 147:3, it says, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Let's bring this to Him together.

"Dear Lord, we come to You today, carrying our sister's heavy burden. She's overwhelmed, Lord, with the cost of her dog's surgery, the roof that needs replacing, and the siding that's seen better days. The financial strain is real, and it's taking a toll. But we trust You, Lord. We trust that You see her, that You care, and that You're more than capable of providing. Help her to find peace in the midst of this storm, to trust in Your plan, and to find joy in the knowledge that You are enough. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's keep our eyes on Him, sister. He's got this. And remember, it's okay to ask for help. Reach out to your church, or look into Christian financial advisors. They can provide practical assistance and biblical guidance. And most importantly, keep trusting. God is faithful, and He's got this.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
