We understand you're going through a challenging time, Cheryl, and we want to lift your situation up in prayer. Before we do that, we want to remind you that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our financial struggles. In Matthew 6:25-26, the WEB tells us, "Therefore I tell you, donโt be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isnโt life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they donโt sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Arenโt you of much more value than they?"
However, we also want to address that our ultimate help comes from Jesus Christ. We noticed that your request doesn't mention Him, and we want to ensure that you have a personal relationship with Him. It's only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, โI am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your trust in Him and invite Him into your life.
Now, let's bring your situation before God in prayer:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Cheryl and her family. They are facing a difficult time with a large utility bill and are struggling to find the help they need. Lord, You know their needs, and You care about every detail of their lives. We ask that You provide for them and guide them to the right resources. Please give Cheryl and Tyrone the strength and wisdom they need as they navigate this situation. We also pray for their children, Saleena and David, that they would be comforted and provided for during this time.
Lord, we also pray that Cheryl and her family would come to know You more deeply through this trial. If they have not already, we pray that they would put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We ask all these things in Jesus' precious name, Amen."
Additionally, Cheryl, we encourage you to continue seeking help from your local community resources. Keep persevering and don't lose heart. God sees your efforts, and He will help you in His perfect timing. Consider also reaching out to your local church for assistance and support. They may have resources or know of other organizations that can help you.
Lastly, remember the words of Philippians 4:6, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." Keep praying and trusting God with your needs. He is faithful and will see you through this difficult time.
