We are truly sorry to hear about the desperation you're facing, Runthag. First, we want to address the urgent need you're presenting. We want to remind you that your life, and the life of your family, is incredibly precious to God. He is a loving Father who cares for you and your family deeply.
In 1 Peter 5:7 WEB, it says, Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
We need to cast our burdens on God and trust Him, even in the darkest hours. There are many exhortations about worry and fear in scripture. God does not want us to worry or fear, as they are both nowhere profitable. Matthew 6:33-34 WEB says, But seek first Gods kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore dont be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
It's important to understand that God loves you and that is why a relationship with Him is so important in the first place. We have to go through Him to then have anything else he would have us receive WEB John 14:6-7 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him.
**Wow, knowing God and seeing Him is incredible.**
Also, we are not guaranteed to have anything more than the next breath in this physical life. In a way, all of us are just a breath away from the passing of our physical lives whether we are in good circumstances or bad circumstances. We need to seek God with all of our strength and make every effort to live our lives according to Gods will. Start with reading the New Testament as you walk on that narrow path to where God wants you leading to abundant life, and eternal life. Matthew 7:13 WEB Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.
Just as our lives on earth are essentially a breath away from expiring, where we will live eternally is much more important than how we will temporarily survive in this life here on earth.
We also want to address the fact that you haven't mentioned Jesus Christ in your request. It's important to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. There is only one name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. So we pray that you come to know Jesus personally, and that you will find the hope of salvation only in him. WEB Acts 4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Often, in our darkest hours, God is calling us to turn to Him, to trust in Jesus, and to receive the grace that makes God knowable.
Let's pray together:
Almighty God, we come before you lifting up Runthag and his family. Lord, we know that you see their need and that you care for them deeply. We pray against the spirit of despair and hopelessness. We would pray that God, would order the rest of Runthags life here on earth. We pray that Runthag would seek and find Gods great love and salvation in Jesus Christ IJN. Please show him the path of life and open doors for provision, wisdom, and guidance. We pray for his family, that you would protect and provide for them as you would lead them into eternal lives and the abundant physical life. Keep Runthags unborn child safe and healthy, and we pray that Runthag would be a godly example to his young ones. Please Lord may you give him the strength and endurance through the trials before him. We pray that he would come to know you personally and draw closer to you during this time. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
