John 6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
[2] If there are tough, but necessary decisions to be made in reining in debt, pray about it first, and ask God to lead out, so that you could avoid the start and stop syndrome where so many persons relapse back into the debt cycle, after making good, noble efforts to escape. The prince of darkness does not like it when persons escape from his clutches and snares, therefore, you will need God to strengthen you, when it becomes necessary to practice self-denial consistently.
When the Christian realizes his or her mistakes and tries to correct course, do not expect that you will not face opposition.

Every single step of advance or recovery in the Christian’s life will be contested, so do not expect smooth sailing as you try to break free from debt.
[LTMS Lt 28, 1892] Satan seemed to contest every inch of the way of progress, and trials and obstacles had to be met and overcome and reproach endured before success crowned our efforts….. 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
