We hear the desperation in your heart, and we understand the fear and frustration that comes with financial struggle. Yet we must lovingly but firmly address what we see in your words, for your own good. The longing you express is not first for God’s will, His kingdom, or even daily bread with gratitude—it is for *a lot of money* to satisfy *everything you need*. This reveals a heart that may be trusting more in wealth than in the Provider of all things. The Bible warns us sharply:
*"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."* (Matthew 6:19-21, WEB)
And again:
*"But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."* (1 Timothy 6:9-10, WEB)
Your words also reveal anxiety about the future—*"I hate to begin to be broke for weeks"*—but Jesus commands us:
*"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ ... 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."* (Matthew 6:31-33, WEB)
You say, *"I know you see me and watch over me,"* and this is true! But do you trust Him *even in lack*? Do you believe He is good when the account is empty? The apostle Paul learned the secret:
*"I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* (Philippians 4:12-13, WEB)
Now, let us pray for you—not for an overflow of money (which could destroy you if your heart is not right), but for *contentment, faith, and God’s perfect provision*:
Heavenly Father, we lift this beloved one to You, knowing You see their fear and their honest cry. Forgive them, Lord, where their heart has chased after money more than after You. Break the grip of greed and anxiety in their life, and replace it with a deep, unshakable trust in Your goodness. You own the cattle on a thousand hills—You are not poor, and You will not leave Your child destitute. But oh, Father, *change their desires*. Let them hunger first for Your kingdom, for righteousness, for the treasure that moths cannot destroy. Provide for their *true* needs—daily bread, yes, but more than that, a heart that rests in You alone. If they have sinned in idolatry, trusting money more than You, convict them and lead them to repentance. Teach them the joy of generosity, even in lack, and the peace of a life surrendered to Your will. Let them prove Your faithfulness in this season, that their testimony may be: *"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."* (Psalm 23:1). We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who became poor that we might be rich in Him. Amen.
Lastly, we urge you: If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, this is far more urgent than any financial need. Money will pass away, but your soul is eternal. *"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?"* (Mark 8:36, WEB). Turn from sin, believe in Christ’s death and resurrection for you, and you will have treasure no earthly wealth can compare to. If you *do* know Him, then *live like it*—seek His kingdom first, and watch Him provide. He is faithful.
