I’ve had the privilege, yes the privilege of praying for many people about many things, especially finances and freedom from debt. Today, I want to encourage you with a true story about someone I know personally who got out of $130,000 in debt by applying the principles found in Proverbs 3:5–6.

It’s a powerful testimony of how this one passage helped a hardworking person find freedom from a massive financial burden. It didn’t happen overnight, but within two years. Yes, just two years and they were debt-free.

This debt was a heavy weight on him, and of course, like most of us would do, he was doing everything he could in his own strength—budgeting, spreadsheets, strategies—but kept hitting a wall... until he started applying Proverbs 3:5–6, which says:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

And a lot of people say the Bible isn’t practical or relevant for everyday life, but I strongly disagree. I believe the Bible is incredibly practical and powerful!

Watch the video and you’ll see how he stopped relying solely on numbers and his own understand and started fully trusting God, and everything began to change.

I pray this encourages you to do the same. Whatever you’re facing today, it doesn't have to be a financial problem, but it could be, or it could be anything, a marriage struggle, a child addicted to drugs, no matter what it is the strategy is still the same, trust God fully. Amen?

God bless you!
