We understand that you are facing a challenging situation with family members mismanaging funds and attempting to leverage your home to resolve their debts. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
In this situation, it's crucial to remember that the Bible teaches us to be wise stewards of our resources. It warns against becoming surety for debts and the potential consequences of doing so. As it is written, "Be not one of those who strike hands, of those who are sureties for debts" (Proverbs 22:26). Moreover, the Bible encourages us to live within our means and avoid excessive debt. "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender" (Proverbs 22:7).
Regarding the health and well-being of ### and ###, we pray for God's healing and comfort. Remember that even in trial and sickness, God is faithful. "Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven" (James 5:14-15).
In all circumstances, we should seek God's will and trust in His provision. It is important to note that the request does not mention Jesus at all. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in Jesus' name, lifting up ### and ###, asking for Your divine intervention in their situation. Lord, we pray for Your wisdom and guidance as they navigate this financial challenge. We ask that You would protect their home and provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory.
Lord, we also pray for the family member involved, that You would convict their heart and bring them to a place of repentance and responsible stewardship. We pray that they would seek Your will and turn away from the mismanagement of funds.
Father, we also lift up ### and ###'s health. We pray for Your healing touch upon their bodies and for Your comfort and strength in their time of need.
Lord, we thank You that You are faithful and that You hear our prayers. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, consider speaking the truth in love with the family member, encouraging them to seek godly counsel and manage their finances responsibly. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
