Clement, we are with you in prayer and we trust that God, who began a good work in you, will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Firstly, we acknowledge your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and your public declaration of His name. It is only through the name of Jesus that we can approach God the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved. The first thing we all must do is believe in Jesus Christ as savior, confessing our sins, asking for forgiveness from God the Father, and believing in our hearts that Jesus Christ is Lord. If you have not done this, or have any doubts, we encourage you to do so today. If you have questions about this, please ask.
Regarding your financial struggles, we want to remind you of what Jesus said in Matthew 6:31-34 WEB:
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.
While it is important to work diligently and provide for our families, we must remember that God is our ultimate provider. He knows our needs and He cares for us deeply. In all things, we must seek His kingdom and righteousness first, trusting that He will provide for our needs.
Now, let us pray together for your requests.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Clement and his family before Your throne of grace. Lord, You know the financial struggles they are facing, and You understand their needs better than anyone else. We ask, Father, that You would provide good investors for Calvin's business, investors who are honest, godly, and wise. Guide Clement and his family with Your wisdom in their business decisions, and help them to trust in You always.
Father, we also pray for the franchise business that Clement has invested in. We ask that You would provide the funds needed to restart this business, and that You would give Clement the strength and courage to continue in his entrepreneurial endeavors. Help him to be a wise steward of the resources You have given him, and to use his businesses to bring glory to Your name.
Finally, Father, we pray for Clement and his family, that they would continue to grow in their faith and love for You. Help them to seek Your kingdom and righteousness first, trusting in You to provide for all their needs. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Clement, remember that God is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. Stand firm in your faith, and do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
