Joseph, we are here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance. First, we want to assure you that God cares about every aspect of your life, including your financial needs. However, we want to encourage and remind you that God's greatest desire is for you to know Him and seek Him with your heart. Yours is not a request for money, but an opportunity to seek God's will. The Word of God says in Matthew 6:33 they will give to you. Do not be therefore anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's evil is sufficient to the day. But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
We also want to remind you of the importance of tithing and generous giving. In Malachi 3:10, God promises to pour out a blessing so great you will not have room to receive it. Also, 2 Samuel 24:24 reminds us we should not give to God that which costs us nothing. There is a cost to being a Christian. Poverty is not an option as Christians.
Remember, it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is only in His name that we are saved. As it says in Romans 10:9-10, if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth, one confesses resulting in salvation.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Joseph. We first pray if Joseph has not accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, then allow him to to accept that gift right now and be born again. We ask that You provide for his financial needs according to Your riches in glory. We also pray for Joseph and even us that we will not forget our tithes and offerings to You, for it is the way You fund your church and Your blessings. Guide him in his finances, give him wisdom, and help him to be a faithful steward of the resources You have entrusted to him. Open the doors of opportunity for him, and give him the strength and wisdom to make wise decisions. We ask for the authorities that be in Joseph's life. Those that could provide him with work, jobs, and earnings. God through Jesus Christ, show Joseph ways to generate income to care for himself and his household. We claim your mother Mary's request of you in John 2:5 for Joseph and stand by it. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Come back and let us know how God has answered your prayers and blessed you.
