Prayers . . . while I am waiting

A SINGLE MOM PRAYS FOR FINANCIAL HELP

Precious Lord, I'm on my knees, asking for your help.  There are more bills coming in than money.  I feel like I'm sinking in a pit and I can't get out.  I'm caught in an endless cycle, living from paycheck to paycheck.  My head is going under, Lord.  I'm drowning in my debt.

Rescue me!  Hear my cries!  You are my source, Lord, not my paycheck.  You are my provider.  You own the whole earth, and every good thing I have has come from your hand.

I lay it all down, Lord.  I give it all to you:  my rent, utilities, car payment, insurance, food, clothing, daycare, everything.  Teach me how to handle my finances wisely so that I can bring glory to you and set a godly example for my children.  Forgive me, Lord, for the times I've been wasteful and ungrateful with the money you have given me.  Speak to the father of my children about the support that he should be providing.  Convict his heart without my having to wrestle him into court.

Thank you, Lord, that you will meet all of my needs.  I know that you have heard my prayer, and before I've even finished speaking your hand is already at work.  I will rest in that knowledge.  I pray through Christ who has provided for me.

Amen

"And my God will meet all your needs according

to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
