The Bible and Christian Counseling Debt

“Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.”  Matthew 18:27

Is debt biblical? It is not a sin to be in indebtedness but the Bible does speak a lot about being good 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 counsel. There are Christian counseling centers to aid with Christian debt elimination. The sooner you can get help the sooner bills and debts can be corralled and brought under restraint. It is a humbling ordeal to go through, but you are not alone. We gain from our hardships to better wait on the Lord and to strengthen our faith. If you have a financial situation do not wait to seek Christian Counseling Debt because someday you may be able give spiritual or financial aid  to a fellow Christian, friend 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 find ourselves in debt for very good reasons. There could be an illness, rendering you unable to work. In these precarious times, we are seeing more and more people being laid off or hours cut substantially. There are regular monthly payments that are due and we may find we do not enough to pay them. Sometimes credit cards are used to pay bills and the debt begins to build. It can become overwhelming and a Christian debt elimination service may be needed.

Pray First

"Listen to me!, you can pray for anything, and if you believe, you will have it." Mark 11:24

Take everything to the Lord in prayer.  Does this mean all things you pray for will be given to you?  The Lord always answers our prayers, not in the way we may have expected 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 endure some trials for the situation we are in, but He has promised to take care of us.
