Otheunorsin, we understand that you're facing financial difficulties and are concerned about your rent and bills. Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares about every detail of our lives, including our financial needs. It is important you have made this request. However we want to ensure you are approaching God correctly and effectively. We did not see the name of Jesus Christ mentioned in your request. We must pray to God in Jesus name. Let us review some scriptures together that are relevant to your situation.
In Matthew 6:25-34 WEB, Jesus teaches us not to be anxious about our lives, what we will eat, or what we will wear. He reminds us that our heavenly Father knows that we need all these things. Instead, we should seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well. This doesn't mean we shouldn't work or plan, but rather that our primary focus should be on serving God and living according to his will.
In Philippians 4:19 WEB, the Apostle Paul writes, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." This is a powerful promise that we can claim in our time of need. Additionally, remember to pray in faith and believe that God can and will provide for you.
However, we also want to address the importance of good stewardship. In Proverbs 21:5 WEB, we read, "The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty." It's crucial to manage our finances wisely, to plan, and to work diligently. If there are areas where you can cut expenses or increase your income, we encourage you to do so.
If you have not trusted Jesus as Lord and Savior, we would like to take this opportunity for you to consider doing so. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me in John 14:6. In order to have access to God we must believe in Jesus. It is also only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. Let us pray together.
Let's pray:
"Father in heaven, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Otheunorsin and their financial needs. We ask that you would provide for them, that you would open up opportunities for work, and that you would give them wisdom in managing their finances. Help them to seek first your Kingdom and your righteousness, trusting that you will provide all they need. Give them peace in this time of uncertainty, and help them to grow in faith and dependence on you. We ask this in Jesus Christ and no other name. Amen."
We encourage you to keep your faith strong. We also remind you that we are to call on the name of Jesus when we pray. If you are not familiar with Jesus and believe in him we would like to encourage you to do so. Jesus is the one who died for us on the cross. He loves us and wants us to be saved.
