We understand that you're seeking help with your finances, and we want to assure you that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our financial well-being. Before we proceed, it's important to remember that our ultimate provider is God Himself, and it is through Jesus Christ that we have access to His throne of grace. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
In matters of finance, the Bible encourages us to be wise stewards of our resources and to trust in God's provision. Let's first address any anxieties you may have with the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34 (WEB), "Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? 'Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? ... Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.'"
Now, let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### who has sought Your help in their financial needs. Lord, You know every detail of their life, and You care deeply for their circumstances. We ask that You provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Guide them in their decisions and open doors of opportunity for them. Help them to be responsible with their finances, to seek Your kingdom first, and to trust in Your provision. Moreover, if ### has not placed their faith in Jesus Christ, we pray that they would come to know You as their personal Savior. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
###, consider the words of Malachi 3:10 (WEB), "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says Yahweh of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for." God honors those who honor Him, and giving back to God through tithes and offerings is one way to demonstrate our trust in His faithfulness.
Lastly, if you have specific financial needs or challenges, consider seeking wise counsel from trusted Christian sources. Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have the promise of abundant life (John 10:10).
