We are truly sorry to hear about the financial challenges you're facing, and we're here to pray and offer biblical guidance with you.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name. It's so important to remember that our help comes from the Lord, and our petitions should be made directly to God the Father in Jesus' name. As it says in John 16:23-24 WEB, "In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."
Now, let's address the current situation. It's crucial to remember that God cares about our needs and we should trust in His provision. As it says in Matthew 6:25-34 WEB, do not be anxious about your life.
In times of financial distress, it's important to act with wisdom and integrity. Proverbs 22:7 WEB tells us, "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." Going into further debt through a bridging loan may not be the wisest course of action, as it can lead to a cycle of debt that is difficult to break free from.
Instead, consider the following steps:
1. **Prayer and Fasting**: Continue to pray and consider fasting, seeking God's guidance and provision in this situation.
2. **Seek Godly Counsel**: Reach out to trusted, godly individuals in your life for advice and support.
3. **Stewardship**: Be a good steward of your current resources. Look for areas where you can cut back on expenses and live more frugally.
4. **Trust in God**: Remember that God is faithful and will provide for your needs according to His riches and glory.
5. **Professional Advice**: Consider seeking advice from a financial advisor or counselor who can provide practical steps to manage your finances.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother/sister and their children in this time of need. Lord, You know the burden they're facing, and You promise to provide for our needs. We ask for Your divine intervention, that You would open doors for provision and guide them in the path of wisdom and righteousness. Help them to trust in You, even in this difficult time, and to rest in Your unfailing love.
We also pray for the salvation of Andrew Myer and all others involved in this situation.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
