Thank You for supernatural wisdom so we can see how to walk out of this terrible situation. Help us to formulate a plan of recovery, a plan to get from where we are today to where we want to be tomorrow.
Lord, I come to You in this time of great need in the life of our family. Whatever the cause, we find ourselves in extreme financial need.
First of all, Father, I come against the spirit of fear, in the name of Jesus. I refuse to operate in fear, anxiety or worry concerning this situation. I know it is serious, and I do not approach it flippantly. But I know that if there is fear, anxiety or worry in my heart, it will cloud my judgment and appraisal of the situation. It will make it seem even worse than it really is. It will also block my ability to hear from You.
Father, I give this whole situation to You and ask for Your guidance and direction in rectifying it. If it came about because of any bad decisions I made or any wrong thoughts or actions I engaged in, I repent to You right now. I ask You for forgiveness. Help me to see my mistakes and faults and to do all in my power to overcome and correct them.
Lord, if this financial crisis is the result of my negligence or my irresponsible spending, I ask You to forgive me. Help me to be sensitive to Your voice so that I may hear from You as I seek Your counsel. I open my heart to You. Show me what to do so that such a crisis as this one never occurs again.
Concerning the current need, I ask You to help me and to give me favor with those to whom we owe money. I thank You for an increase in sales so that our income can grow, knowledge so we will know where to cut expenses, and insight so we will know how to budget the money that we do have.
Thank You for supernatural wisdom so we can see how to walk out of this terrible situation. Help us to formulate a plan of recovery, a plan to get from where we are today to where we want to be tomorrow. Help me to communicate that plan clearly and effectively to the ones who will be involved in it.
Lord, send me counselors, those who can help me with this task. Send me people with wisdom and insight concerning this situation, that they might help me perceive and discern Your perfect plan for recovery. Father, I give myself entirely to You.
Thank You that I hear Your voice accurately and distinctly as You reveal to me what to do and how to do it. I ask You to help me identify the reason why we got into this crisis in the first place and to erect safeguards so that it will never happen again.
Thank You for Your forgiveness, Your help, Your wisdom and Your instruction. Thank You that we are totally and completely out of this crisis. I receive it by faith and thank You that it is done, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Germaine empowers God’s agents of prayer to approach the Throne of God confidently and fearlessly. She has a passion to see believers become intimately acquainted with the Father-God, the Creator of the universe, praying that His will might be done on earth as it is in heaven. They are equipped with the necessary prayer armor learning to wage a spiritual warfare for the reclaiming of communities and nations for Kingdom purposes. Business, government, the arts, media, education, religion, and family are societal areas where God wants to reflect His glory. Germaine provides coaching and prayer counseling, calling on every member of the Body of Christ to take their place in the Global Company of Intercessors. Her teaching helps the listeners solidify their identities, enables them to “repair the defenses of the city, to take a stand for God and stand in the gap to protect this land so He won’t have to destroy it.” (Ezekiel 22:30 MSG).
In the 1980’s Germaine served as Associate Pastor of Word of Life Church in Smyrna, Georgia, before serving as Senior Pastor for 5 years. She travels nationally and internationally conducting prayer schools, speaking at churches, conferences, and other groups.
Germaine organizes prayer teams for the purpose of spiritual and social transformation in the nations where they pray on location. These teams receive training in the art of prayer that releases the will of God into the atmosphere of the regions. She has led teams to the Cayman Islands and to North African countries where they have spread the love of God to unbelievers and strengthened followers of Jesus who are living in the various countries. Her books and teaching help others discover how to grow in grace and knowledge and live with new power, strength and victory as God promises.
Germaine is an Executive Network Member of International Breakthrough Ministries (IBM), and a member of Deborah Company.
