Let's bring your request to the Lord together, dear sister.
Firstly, we must address the idea of playing the lottery. The Bible tells us that we are to be good stewards of the resources God has given us, and that we are to obtain our wealth through honest labor. "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.'" 2 Thessalonians 3:10 WEB.
Gambling, including playing the lottery, is not aligned with biblical principles. It is a form of chance that can lead to addiction and further financial struggles. "Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in ruin and destruction." 1 Timothy 6:9 WEB.
Instead of putting our hope in chance, we should put our hope in the Lord, who knows our needs and promises to provide for us. "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." Matthew 6:31-32 WEB.
Let us pray for God's provision and wisdom in managing your finances.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister and her family. Lord, You know their struggles and their needs. You are a good Father who cares for His children. Please provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Give them wisdom in managing their finances and show them opportunities to increase their income through honest labor. Help them to be good stewards of the resources You have given them.
Lord, we also pray for their faith. Help them to trust in You, not in chance or luck. Help them to keep their eyes on You, knowing that You are their provider.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, sister, that God is your provider. Trust in Him, and He will never forsake you. "Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;" Psalm 33:18 WEB.
Stand firm in your faith and continue to seek God's will in all things. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
