Your Question:
what do i do when i'm drowning in debt and have no idea how to get out?
Answer:
My friend, I can only imagine the weight of debt bearing down on you. As someone who has walked through the valley of financial struggles with my wife Susan, I want to share a message of hope. When faced with drowning in debt, it's essential to take the initiative and make a decision to change. You must stand firm and commit to a new path. The first step is to acknowledge the debt and take responsibility for it. Recognize that debt is not just a financial issue, but a spiritual one as well. As Christians, we are called to be good stewards of our finances and live free from burdensome debt. I encourage you to pray with me, "Lord, I commit our finances to You. Be in charge of them and use them for Your purposes." As you do this, you'll begin to see a shift in your mindset and a desire to live more wisely. Now, let's talk about the practical steps to take. If you owe money for goods or services, it's time to make a plan to pay it off. If your spending habits are preventing your family from prospering, it's essential to make changes. Consider cutting back on unnecessary expenses and allocating that money towards your debt. Remember, it's not just about getting out of debt; it's about living a life that honors God and reflects His character. As the apostle Paul said, "You were bought at a price... I am a debtor to everyone on the face of the earth because of the gospel of Jesus; I am free only that I may be an absolute bondservant of His."
