We are truly sorry to hear about the financial struggles you and your wife are facing. We want to lift you both up in prayer and encourage you to keep your faith in Jesus Christ, who is our provider and sustainer.
Firstly, let's remember what the Bible tells us about our attitude in times of need. In Philippians 4:6 WEB, it is written, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." So, let us bring your needs before God with thankful hearts, trusting in His care for you.
However, we want to gently remind you that our ultimate trust should be in God, not in man or in wealth. In 1 Timothy 6:17 WEB, we are warned, "Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy." Therefore, while we pray for your financial needs, we also pray that your faith and hope will be firmly rooted in God.
Let us also address the mention of seeking a sponsor to live in Indonesia. While there's nothing inherently wrong with seeking support, we encourage you to seek God's will in this matter. Proverbs 16:3 WEB says, "Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed." Ensure that this desire aligns with God's purpose for your life.
Now, let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Tailthall and his wife. Lord, You know their needs, and You are their provider. We ask that You will meet their financial needs, that all the money owed to them will be paid promptly. Guide them in their financial decisions, and help them to be good stewards of the resources You've given them. Lord, if it is Your will, open a way for them to be supported in Indonesia, but above all, let Your will be done in their lives. Help them to keep their faith and hope in You, knowing that You are their ultimate source of provision. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus. Remember, it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to keep this in mind in your prayers and in your life.
