I bring the stress and worry I have about financial difficulties in my life and surrender it entirely to You. Lord, help me to depend on you entirely in my time of need. Give me the grace to trust that you know what is best for my soul and that you carry me through any and all sufferings.
Turning to Bible verses for financial struggles can be incredibly helpful. Verses such as Philippians 4:19, which states, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus,” are a reminder that God is a faithful provider.
Luke 6:20–21 (NIV)
Looking at his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.”
We can and should ask God for financial help, but always in the light of what the true purpose of prayer is—to lead us into a closer relationship with and obedience to God (James 4:8). We can pray for financial miracles but should do so with a humble, patient, and trusting heart.
While tithing 10% of your income is biblical, you're not required to tithe to be a Christian. And you're not a bad Christian if you don't tithe. Thankfully, God loves us when we give and when we don't give.
To quickly attract God's help, surrender everything to Him. When you lay it all before Him, you're expressing that your hope rests solely in His hands. Acknowledging your limitations and admitting that you can't handle certain situations alone moves God to intervene.
God's plan seems to be that we have some needs so that we can develop our faith in Him. It is vital for us to view potential future financial needs as opportunities to exercise and develop our faith. No Christian can truly serve God and live in fear of financial loss.
I ask that You bless me with a financial breakthrough, so that I may be able to give generously, save wisely, and live prosperously. Amen.” "Father God, thank You for all the good things I have in my life and all the blessings You have given me. I pray to You today to ask for a financial miracle.
Philippians 4:19: And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Proverbs 10:22: The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. 2 Corinthians 9:8: And God will generously provide all you need.
You are the God who provides all my needs according to your riches in Glory. I come to You as I am struggling financially, asking for your provision. Remove my fear, doubt, and unbelief. Fill me with Your peace and confidence in the promise of your care for me in time of need.
God listens to your words but wants your heart.
Words are important, but there's no pre-written formula, or churchy words. No, when asking God for help, God just wants you to pour out your heart3. He just wants you to put every pain, every fear, every disappointment into a basket and hand it to Him.
Lord Jesus, I come before you, just as I am, I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In your Name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works.
The first step is to let God know that you need him and want His help. Second, ask God for His direction and for strength to stand firm in His promises. We often need help because of our past choices and sin. Ask God to help you focus on his compassion and grace to lift you out of your despair and heart ache.
Lord, help me to trust in your promises and rely on your provision. I choose to lay down my worries and anxieties at your feet and believe that you are in control of my financial situation. Please give me wisdom to make good decisions with my finances and guide me as I manage my resources.
As our heavenly Father, God wants to provide for us if we will only allow Him to. How does our Father provide? He takes care of us by giving us the ability to work and by providing opportunities to earn money. It is all His and He wants to show His love for us by giving to us.
Although we aren't commanded to give 10% of our earnings to God, he does expect us to be givers. Don't look at the requirement to not tithe as an opportunity to be stingy. In the Old Testament, God required Israelite farmers and herdsmen to give the tithe regardless if they were in debt or not.
No, God doesn't give people free will if you take it to mean that they can choose anything they want. I would define free will as this: every human being has the freedom to choose whatever sin he wants. That's free will. You can choose whatever sin you want to choose, you just can't choose not to sin.
God is, however, our source in all times of need—and sometimes he provides miraculously. I want to encourage you to expect miracles wherever they are needed: whether in your body, your marriage, your family, and yes, even in your finances. So many of the miracles we find in the Bible are miracles of provision.
The simple answer is yes, God hears your prayers. An ever-present, all-knowing God will hear every word from your mouth, thought in your mind and whisper of your heart. But there are some things that might affect whether He answers. Now, let us get one thing straight before we go on… God loves you.
