Christian Counseling Debt and The Bible

“The king was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt.” Matthew 18:27

Is it biblical to be in debt It is not a sin to be in debt but the Bible does have a lot to say about being faithful managers of what we have been blessed with. The bigger sin is being too prideful to acknowledge your need and your current financial condition and look for help or advice. There are Christian counseling centers to aid with Christian debt elimination. The sooner you can get help the sooner obligations and debts can be corralled and brought under control. It is a humbling experience to go through, but others share this same experience. We learn from our hardships to better serve the Lord and to reinforce our faith. If you have a financial situation do not wait to seek Christian debt counseling because someday you may be able give spiritual or financial aid  to a fellow Christian, family member or co-worker.

“The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.”
Proverbs 22:7

We are called to spend wisely. Often times we see ourselves in debt for very good reasons. There could be an illness, rendering you unable to work. Currently we see more and more workers being let go or hours reduced substantially. Whem the monthly payments become due, often times we discover we do not have enought money to pay them. Sometimes when the debt starts to increase credit cards will be used to make matters worse. It can become overwhelming and a Christian counseling debt may be needed.

Pray First

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24

Take all things to the Lord in prayer.  Does this mean everything you pray for will be granted?  The Lord always responds to our prayers, but maybe not in the way we expect or in the time frame we want. Jesus prayed when He was on earth.  He prayed while in the desert and also he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane.  Jesus prayedif it is possible may this cup be taken from me..  He still had to go through what He was sent to do, die for our sins and transgressions.  We may still have to prevail some trials for the situation we are in, but He has promised to take care of us.
