I need a miracle šŸ™

Father God
I need a miracle…I don’t have a job, I’m about to lose my properties, kids school fees unpaid and other household bills… running out of my savings in trying to maintain my house hold…I feel neglected :pensive_face: I want to die but I can’t leave my kids, they’re still young…I feel like I may have committed a huge sin against God that Im being punished for it hence Im going through these challenges
Please God,..hear my prayer and answer me now…I am suffocating hence I think I might as well die…some of my friends have already left me on this earth and are probably resting in peace hence I want to join them…I have never known peace in this life so what is the point of living?

@mo-nk Welcome. The best advice I can give you is for you to stop looking to the world for the answer. Seek first the Kingdom of God. Welcome. Since I have been in the Ministry, I have learned that worry, desire, and anxiety are pretty common. Perhaps human nature, even. There really is only one answer. Here is why I say this. It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by financial strain, especially in a world that constantly tells us our worth and security depend on money. But remember, the financial pressure we feel comes from human-made systems, not from God.

First, stop thinking about it in a worldly sense.

ā€œTrust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.ā€ Proverbs 3:5–6

This passage urges us to trust the Lord completely rather than relying solely on our own reasoning or calculations. When we acknowledge Him in all areas of life, including our finances, He will guide our path forward.

Paul encourages believers not to carry the burden of anxiety. Instead, we are invited to bring every worry and request to God through prayer and thanksgiving.

ā€œDo not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.ā€ Philippians 4:6–7

In return, God offers a peace that goes beyond human understanding, which guards our hearts and minds from fear and overwhelm.

Then, of course, you have this from our LORD Himself.

ā€œTherefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ā€˜What shall we eat?’ or ā€˜What shall we drink?’ or ā€˜What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.ā€ Matthew 6:25–34

Jesus reminds us that life is more than material needs like food or clothes. He points to creation: how God feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field without them striving or worrying. God knows what we need before we even ask. When we focus on seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness first, He promises that our daily essential needs will be provided for.

I say again, stop looking toward the world for your answers and solutions; start looking to God. May God be with you, now in this time, and always.Peter
