First, I believe all debt, on a spiritual level, is about fear.

Owing money, beyond the fixed expenses of daily life, often creates a level of fear.

Deuteronomy 15:1-6 (NIV) At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. 2 This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel the loan he has made to his fellow Israelite.

Debts are produced by thoughts of lack, impatient desire, and covetousness. A thought of debt will produce debt. As long as we believe in debt, we shall go into debt and accumulate the burdens that follow this thought. When such thoughts are erased from consciousness, our debts are overcome and paid in full.
To be poor in spirit means recognizing that everything good in our nature comes from God. Anything worthy of praise in us comes from God and God alone. Being poor in spirit is a type of spiritual posture, acting as “beggar” before the Lord.

I humbly ask for your supernatural intervention to help me eliminate my debt. Please provide me with the resources, opportunities, and wisdom to overcome this financial hardship. You will make a way when I don't see a way. Matthew 21:22 “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
