Thank you, Zizo, for reaching out and sharing your financial needs with us. We are here to pray and provide biblical guidance together.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God cares about our needs and wants us to come to Him with our petitions. In Philippians 4:6 WEB, it says, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." However, we should not forget Jesus said "seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" from Matthew 6:33 WEB. Often he will help us grow first towards him before he blesses us financially.
In Matthew 7:7-8' Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.'
Let us, however, not forget Jesus when asking for anything. Acts 4:12 says, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!" mentioned in Acts 4:12 WEB.
So let us pray:
Almighty God, we come before You lifting up Zizo and their financial needs. We know that pickpockets, beggars and looters will not inherit your kingdom. We know that You are a good Father who cares for His children from Matthew 7:11 WEB. So If this need aligns with Your will for them, God, we ask that You open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that the need is met from Malachi 3:10 WEB. Teach us from Job 28:28 how to fear you and withdraw from evil.
Guide our brother or sister, strengthen their faith, and give them wisdom to manage their finances according to Your principles. Lord let them learn, apply, and effectively manage financial resources according to their biblical Principles of Luke 16:10 and Luke 16:11 WEB.
Thank you for looking out for our needs. Remind us that the love of money is a root to all kinds of evil from 1 Timothy 6:10. Everyone who loves money will not inherit your kingdom. That which is highly valued to men is detestable to God.
Help us to always be content with what we have in life. Hebrews 13:5 Let your way of life be without covetousness, and be content with such things as you have. For he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'1
In addition, remember it is important to give and to receive. Those who quickly give, will often quickly receive and is better than him who receives slowly and slowly gives. 2 Corinthians 8:12 WEB says"For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what he has, not according to what he doesn't have."
We trust You and Your perfect will, knowing You will supply all of Zizo's needs according to Your riches in glory from Philippians 4:19 WEB.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Let's encourage you with one wise old saying. 'Within this life, financial failure can simply mean you are managing your money differently than government does.'
Be encouraged, keep the faith, if you are able save some money, keep your heart from all evil, your lips from all perverse talking, your hands from doing all wrong work, seek good and peace and chase after it even when you are ruled over by others.
