Firstly, we want to acknowledge your honesty and courage in reaching out. We are here to pray with you and to offer guidance from a biblical perspective.
In times of financial distress, it's crucial to remember that God is our provider and that He cares for us. Jesus said in Matthew 6:25-34 WEB:
Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith? Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
Suicidal thoughts are a serious matter, and we want to address this with utmost care. Taking one's own life is not the solution, and it is a grave sin. God wants you to live and to find hope in Him. In John 10:10 WEB, Jesus said:
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
We urge you to seek help immediately from local support groups, a trusted Christian friend, or a professional counselor. If you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services in your area.
Regarding your financial situation, we encourage you to be transparent with your brother, asking God for the wisdom and the words to speak to him. In Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB:
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we can approach God and ask for His help. This was not mentioned in your request. In Acts 4:10-12 WEB:
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ###. Lord, we ask for Your miraculous provision in their life, that You would open doors of opportunity for them to catch their breath and relieve their urgent financial needs. Give them the strength to face each day and the courage to speak honestly with their brother. Most importantly, Lord, help ### to find hope and purpose in You, knowing Jesus Christ as the only one that can save them. Cast out all thoughts of suicide and replace them with Your thoughts of life, peace, and abundant joy. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
