Lord Jesus, meet me in this need with mercy and truth. I bring you when debt or bills feel heavy and the overwhelmed thoughts that come with it.

Give me sound judgment that begins with reverence for God and lead me toward mercy that leads to repair. Protect my heart from pride, despair, resentment, and false promises. Help me seek Scripture, prayer, and wise counsel before acting without pretending that obedience is easy or that I can control every outcome.

Let this moment become a place where trust grows, love becomes concrete, and my next step honors Jesus. I entrust this need to you and ask for a heart ready to follow. Amen.
