A prayer

Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.

Lord, this debt feels like a weight I can’t set down, and some nights the math keeps me awake. I am not asking for a shortcut, just for wisdom to dig out step by step and for provision along the way. Help me be disciplined with what comes in and honest about what needs to change.

Free me from the anxiety this creates even before you free me from the debt itself. Walk with me through the slow, unglamorous work of getting back to solid ground. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
