Let us acknowledge the person Fidel is in distress and needs God's guidance, and we need to pray for God intervention and God's will in Jesus' name. This is the only way to salvation, forgiveness, and true freedom. First, let us address the financial stress. Fidel, we want to encourage you with these words from the WEB Philippians 4:6 "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." and WEB Philippians 4:19 "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Let us pray to God.
Father in Heaven, This is a hurting child of yours who is feeling stress and hurt. We lift up Fidel to you and we know that you are listening to our prayers because we are coming in Jesus' name. In WEB 1Peter5:7 we read " casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." we ask you God to release Fidel of the worry and anxieties regarding the financial hardship. For you have told us in the WEB that you know what we have need of before we ask, therefore we have no fear and no worries.
We thank you, Lord, that you know how to deliver us from temptation. Fidel has acknowledged his struggle with smoking, and we come against this addiction in Jesus' name. WEB 1Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." There is no struggle, no temptation, no sin that is bigger than the power of the cross. We ask God that you fill Fidel with your Holy Spirit, that you renew his mind and body, and that you break these chains of addiction. In the Bible in WEB John 8:36 we read "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." So we ask this in Jesus' name because we know there is no other name given by which we must be saved. For this also applies to any other sin with which Fidel is struggling. Cast away all your sins and ask God's forgiveness and do not be hindered by speaking it aloud.
For Fidel desires not to be bound by sin. He loves you Lord and wants to bring glory to your name, Father in Heaven and be used for your kingdom. WEB Ephesians 2:8 " by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, that no one would boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them."
Now it is our prayer, Father, that you give Fidel the strength and courage to face whatever lies ahead, trusting fully in you. Amen. We conclude with WEB Romans 8:28 "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Let God's Word and promises wash over you, Fidel. Stand firm in your faith, and remember that God is with you always. Trust in him, and he will see you through, you are in Jesus' hands, nothing can snatch you out of it. Trust in God and continue praying in Jesus' name, no other name will do. Go to God the Father only in Jesus' name. Praise be to God.
