We are with you in spirit, praying for your well-being and guidance in these challenging circumstances. Thank you for recognizing this messaging is given by the enemy.
As mentioned in our guidelines, praying for physical health and financial needs is covered in our medical focus area. We are guilty of skepticism in times of adversity. And since we see the enemy active, it is useful to remember how He operates.
Now that there are health and financial challenges, pray as such. Firstly, we may consider that the strain on finances could contribute to anxiety, which then might be directing the mind away from God. God help us to focus and trust in Him. Secondly, let's pray about the potential lies that the enemy may speak! As for employability, we are here to pursue a good challenge.
Whatever is discovered, we know that God is in control and for His children who call upon Him, we know that He works all things for their good.
We encourage you to consider that God will use these health and financial challenges to glorify Himself. Lord, we affirm that you are over all things.
Let's examine the choices we make and how we approach these obstacles. Then, hear the word of God.
Hebrews 11:1 WEB Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
You see, faith is a hope of things not seen! We are all called to walk by faith and not by sight.
Matthew 6:25-33 WEB Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith? 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. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
We are called to live by faith and not by sight.
In all circumstances, we are to pray.
Ephesians 6:11-12 WEB Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
And of course, we are given the power of Christ to stand against the wickedness of the enemy.
Exodus 15:26 WEB He said, If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians: for I am Yahweh who heals you.
Let us pray and await His healing.
Our Father in heaven, we come to You in the precious name of Jesus, trusting in Your goodness and mercy. Our friend here is facing health issues and financial strain, and we lift them up to You, seeking Your divine intervention and healing power.
Thank You for always knowing the best and perfect plan for our lives. We repent and negate worry and anxiety in this situation, recognizing that You will provide. Please help our friend find the right medical care, and give them peace and confidence in Your healing touch.
You have promised that all things work together for good to those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Let us trust in Your purpose and acknowledge that we are called.
We rebuke the enemy's lies and deception, proclaiming that our friend will overcome these challenges and step into the promises You have for them. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to trust in You fully.
In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, provision, and a renewed sense of purpose. Let us pray for a job that will fulfill needs, and let us pray for a way out of any debt. Please give a positive report from the medical professionals that are to be seen. Let us trust in You and seek You first.
Lastly, Lord, we look for the opportunity to share the Source of our faith, Jesus Christ, and the hope that is found in Him alone.
