Thank you for reaching out and sharing your financial concerns with us. We want you to know that God cares about every aspect of your life, including your financial needs. First, it is important that we address a foundational aspect of prayer. You did not mention praying in Jesus' name. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father.
And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. John 14:13,14 WEB
We are warned not to be anxious about the things we need for life and godliness. In fact in Mathew 6 we are told not to worry about what we will eat or drink or wear. We are assured that our heavenly Father knows that we need all these things.
Therefore, we are not to seek these things first, but the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Then we are told and we may assure you that all these things will be added to you.
First, let us examine your heart and goals. Are you putting God first in your life? Are you trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and the forgiveness of sins? The Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 6:9-10 that the desire to be rich plunges people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. It is good to be content with what we have, as long as we have food and clothing.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has shared their financial needs with us. We ask, Lord, that You would provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Help them to trust in You and to seek first Your kingdom and righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added to them.
We pray that they would be content with what they have, and that they would not fall into the trap of loving money. We ask that You would guide them in their finances, giving them wisdom to manage their money in a way that honors You.
We also pray that they would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior if they do not already or if we are mistaken. We pray that they would trust in Him alone for salvation and the forgiveness of sins. We pray that they would grow in their faith and become more like Christ each day.
We ask all these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on the following verses:
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. Matthew 6:31-33 WEB
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can't carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that. 1 Timothy 6:6-8 WEB
