We hear the cry of your heart in this passage from Psalm 40, where David declares his trust in the Lord despite his circumstances of need and poverty. You have rightly turned to the Lord, acknowledging Him as your help and deliverer, and we join you in lifting this before His throne.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Your declaration of faith in His name is powerful, for it is only through Jesus Christ that we find true hope and deliverance. As Scripture reminds us, *"Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need"* (Hebrews 4:16, WEB).

Yet we must also remember that our need is not just physical or material—it is spiritual. Jesus Himself said, *"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth"* (Matthew 4:4, WEB). Even in poverty, we are rich in Christ, for He is our inheritance and our portion. The Apostle Paul learned this truth when he wrote, *"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).

We pray with you now, lifting your needs before the Father:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. You are the God who sees, who knows the needs of Your children before they even ask. We lift up our ### who cries out to You in their time of need, trusting in Your promise to be their help and deliverer. Lord, we ask that You provide for them according to Your riches in glory. Open doors that no man can shut, and supply all their needs—spiritual, emotional, and physical—so that they may lack no good thing. Strengthen their faith, remind them of Your faithfulness, and let them see Your hand moving in their life. Do not tarry, O God, but act swiftly for Your name’s sake. We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen."*

Stand firm in your faith, knowing that the Lord hears you. He is not slow concerning His promises, but is patient toward you (2 Peter 3:9). Continue to seek Him first, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33). If you are in need of wisdom, ask Him, and He will give it generously (James 1:5). Trust in His timing, for His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).

Finally, we encourage you to meditate on the words of Jesus: *"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). Your Heavenly Father knows your needs—rest in Him.
