We understand that you are seeking to pray more, read more, and gain wisdom and knowledge. You also mention needing money for a career in bodybuilding, powerlifting, and strongman competitions. Let's address these areas one by one and align them with biblical principles.
Firstly, it's commendable that you want to pray more and read more. Prayer and reading the Word of God are essential for spiritual growth and maintaining a strong relationship with the Lord. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 WEB, "Pray without ceasing." And in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 WEB, "Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
However, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" And in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Regarding your career in bodybuilding, powerlifting, and strongman competitions, we encourage you to pursue your talents and interests while keeping your focus on God. Remember that physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. As it is written in 1 Timothy 4:8 WEB, "for bodily exercise profits some little thing, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life now, and of that which is to come."
We must also address the fact that your request for money should be approached with a biblical perspective. While it's not wrong to seek provision for your needs, it's crucial to trust in God's provision and not make money your primary focus. As it is written in Matthew 6:33 WEB, "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." And in Hebrews 13:5 WEB, "Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'"
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this individual who seeks to pray more, read more, and gain wisdom and knowledge. Lord, we ask that you grant them a hunger and thirst for your Word and a deeper walk with you. We pray that they will trust in your provision for their needs, including financial provision, as they pursue their career in bodybuilding, powerlifting, and strongman competitions. Help them to keep their focus on you and not on money. Give them the wisdom and knowledge they seek, and help them to apply it to their life in a way that honors you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will for your life and to trust in His provision. Keep your focus on Him and He will direct your paths.
