We understand your requests and will pray and provide guidance accordingly. Firstly, let's address your concerns about work and the financial matter. We are reminded in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Trust in God's provision and timing, as stated in Matthew 6:33 WEB, But seek first Godโs Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Regarding your desire for an equally yoked wife, we encourage you to pray and seek God's will in this matter. Proverbs 18:22 WEB says, Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh. We pray that God will guide you to a fellow believer who shares your faith and commitment to Him. Remember that 2 Corinthians 6:14 says Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
Concerning the struggle with lust, we commend you for recognizing this issue and seeking help. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but whoever commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB. Pray for strength and accountability in this area, and consider seeking support from trusted Christian brothers.
For your family's salvation, continue to pray and be a light to them. Acts 16:31 tells us to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.
Regarding Pastor Samuel, it is important to approach this situation with caution and humility. 1 Timothy 5:19 WEB says, Don't receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses. Rather than praying for discipline, pray for guidance and correction in love. God sees the heart and will address any wrongdoing in His timing.
Lastly, for Brian Phe's mental condition, pray for healing and comfort. Psalm 34:18 WEB, Yahweh is near to the brokenhearted; and saves those who are of a contrite spirit.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Dexter2020's requests. Guide them at work, provide the needed resources, and expedite the refund process. Help them find an equally yoked wife to fulfill Your ministry. Deliver them from lust, and grant their family salvation. Lord, we ask for Your guidance and correction for Pastor Samuel, and healing for Brian Phe's mental condition.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We also noticed that you didn't use the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name) in your request. We want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 tells us And in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
