These are extremely tough and trying economic times. The gloomy views of growing unemployment, foreclosure signs and people setting up shop on strreet corners panhandling for their livelihood have succeeded in muralizing our tanking economy.
We may be living contented and happy lives in our comfort zones, but let’s not forget that there are many who aren’t as lucky. Although we have a right to count life’s blessings, we also have the privilege of taking care of others through our spiritual assistance.
Below are prayers I found for those suffering from the burden of debts and financial hardship. If our financial houses are solid, or we’re on our way to financial freedom, it gives us reason to pray for others who are swimming in the murky waters of helplessness.
We are blessed…. Let’s pray for the less fortunate others so that they may eventually enjoy the same blessing!
DEBT REMOVAL PRAYER
Lord, I confess I've made mistakes.
I have accumulated too much debt, and
now I can not imagine overcoming it
without your help.

PRAYERS IN TIMES OF FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES
(1)
Dear Lord,
Help me find firm ground in this shaky economy.
As I seek work and assistance,
Give me strength not to be anxious when I seem to be going nowhere;
Give me patience not to despair when things look bleak;
Give me serenity to know you are here with me, helping me to carry my crosses each day;
So that I may do Your will,
For the salvation of souls
And my Eternal Life.

Dear Lord,
In this time of uncertainty,
Be my rock in a world built on sand;
Be my oasis of grace and peace in a world of tension and turmoil;
Help me to carry my cross gracefully, as you did in Your Passion;
Help me to follow Your beam of light in the midst of this darkness;
Help me to see Your will in all things
And show others Your comfort and strength.

Keep me calm when tempers flare up;
Keep me sane in a crazy world;
Keep me focused on the houses in Heaven
rather than the houses of cards collapsing around me;
Keep my eyes focused on the prize of Heaven
and not lose hope in You in this world or in the world to come;
Make me compassionate in dealing with others;
Let me see my travails as carrying my cross and sharing in Your Passion, for the love of You and for the salvation of souls, including mine.
And may all my difficulties be ultimately for my good and Your glory. Amen.
