We hear your cry, Irekan, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your situation. We are grateful that you've reached out in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is by His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, WEB).
Firstly, let's address the financial struggle. The Bible urges us to be good stewards of our resources, and to trust God with our needs. "But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Let's pray that God provides for your needs and gives you both the wisdom and strength to manage your finances according to His will.
We also want to address the pressure you feel from your spouse regarding finances. It's important to remember that God calls us to be in agreement and to communicate openly with our spouses. "Let the wife see that she respects her husband. Likewise, the husband should give to his wife her due as another self, and love her as himself... For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have Christ’s mind" (Ephesians 5:33, 1 Corinthians 2:16, WEB). Let's pray for unity, understanding, and godly communication between you both.
Moreover, we encourage you to cast all your anxieties onto Jesus, for He cares for you. "Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). This includes your concerns about your relationship, finances, and parenting.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up Irekan and their spouse. Lord, they are overwhelmed with financial burdens and relationship struggles. We ask that You provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Give them wisdom to manage their finances, and help them to resist the temptation to spend unwisely.
Father, we also pray for unity in their marriage. Help them to communicate openly and honestly, and to respect each other's opinions and needs. Let Your love and peace rule in their hearts and home.
Lord, we cast all their anxieties onto You, trusting that You care for them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Irekan, we bless you and thank you for believing in the power of prayer. We encourage you to continue trusting God and to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you (Numbers 6:24-26, WEB).
