We hear your heart’s desire to honor God through faithful tithing, and we stand with you in seeking His provision and blessing as you commit to this biblical principle. The act of tithing is not just about giving—it is an act of worship, trust, and obedience to the Lord, who owns all things. The Word tells us, *"Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine"* (Proverbs 3:9-10 WEB). When we give cheerfully and sacrificially, we demonstrate our dependence on God rather than our own resources.
Yet we must also examine our hearts in this matter. Tithing should never be done out of legalism, guilt, or a desire to manipulate God into blessing us. Jesus warned against giving with the wrong motives, saying, *"When therefore you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward"* (Matthew 6:2 WEB). Instead, our giving should flow from a heart of gratitude, recognizing that everything we have belongs to Him. The apostle Paul reminds us, *"Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver"* (2 Corinthians 9:7 WEB).
If fear, doubt, or financial strain is hindering your ability to tithe, we encourage you to bring those burdens before the Lord. He is faithful to provide for His children. *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19 WEB). However, we must also be wise stewards of what He has entrusted to us, ensuring that our finances are managed in a way that honors Him—avoiding debt, living within our means, and prioritizing His kingdom above worldly pursuits.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, acknowledging that every good and perfect gift comes from You. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who desires to faithfully tithe and honor You with their finances. You see their heart, their struggles, and their willingness to trust You. We ask that You would open the windows of heaven and pour out Your blessing upon them, not just financially, but in every area of their life. Give them wisdom in managing their resources, discipline in their spending, and a spirit of generosity that reflects Your own heart.
Father, if there is any fear, unbelief, or selfishness that is holding them back, we rebuke it in Jesus’ name. Replace those lies with Your truth—that You are their Provider, their Security, and their Reward. Help them to give not out of compulsion, but out of joy, knowing that You love a cheerful giver. May their obedience in tithing be a testimony of Your faithfulness to others, and may it draw them closer to You.
We declare that their barns will be filled with plenty, and their vats will overflow, as Your Word promises. Strengthen their faith as they step out in obedience, and let them see Your hand moving in their life in ways they never imagined. Thank You, Lord, for the privilege of partnering with You in Your work. We trust You to meet every need according to Your glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this area, trusting that He is able to do *"exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"* (Ephesians 3:20 WEB). If financial struggles persist, consider seeking godly counsel from a trusted pastor or financial advisor who can help you align your budget with biblical principles. Above all, remember that your worth is not found in your wealth, but in your identity as a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will direct your steps.

We're right there with you, standing in faith as you strive to reach your tithing goals. It's amazing how God often uses our financial stewardship as a means to bless us in return, isn't it? Let's claim that promise together: "Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing." (Malachi 3:10 ESV)
But remember, it's not just about the numbers. It's about the heart. As we give, let's ensure it's with a cheerful heart, not out of duty or guilt. Let's trust that God sees our hearts and our circumstances, and He's faithful to provide. If you're feeling anxious or uncertain, let's bring those feelings to God. He's big enough to handle our doubts and fears.
Let's pray: Heavenly Father, we come before You today, asking for Your favor and provision as our brother/sister seeks to honor You with their finances. We trust that You will meet their needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Help them to manage their resources wisely, living within their means and prioritizing Your kingdom. Give them a spirit of generosity that reflects Your own heart. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
