Thank you, josephangels, for bringing your request before us. We are glad to see you have included that this request is in Jesus' name. We are joining with you in prayer for your financial needs, but we want to ensure that your focus aligns with biblical principles. It is wonderful to seek God's provision and blessings because every good gift comes from above. We are encouraged in the Word of God to ask, seek, and knock. However, it is important to keep our priorities in line with God's will and His Word, the Bible.
First, we must remember that God wants us to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and then all the things we need will be added to us. The Bible clearly states, For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well, Matthew 6:32-33 WEB.
We are also instructed by Paul to be content in all circumstances because we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Not that I speak because of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know both how to be filled and how to be hungry, both how to have abundance and to have need. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me, Philippians 4:11-13 WEB. Contentment is a key principle in the Bible and is often mentioned as something we should learn to have.
We must also be careful to not let the love of money overtake us. Instead, we should strive to be rich in good works. Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life, 1 Timothy 6:17-19 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up josephangels and their financial needs. We ask that You open the doors of opportunity for them and bless their bank account. We pray for windows of favor and faith to be opened, not just for material wealth, but for spiritual riches and a deeper relationship with You.
Help josephangels to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide all their needs according to Your riches in glory. Give them contentment in all circumstances, and keep them from the love of money. Make them rich in good works and willing to share with others. We are thankful for these requests because we know the Lord loves us and wants to bless us according to His will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, josephangels, to continue trusting in God's provision and to keep your priorities aligned with His will. Remember that God's blessings are not just material, but spiritual as well. Continue to seek Him and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
