We hear the urgency and passion in your heart for financial blessing, and we join you in seeking God’s will in this matter. It is good that you have acknowledged your gratitude for what the Lord has already provided, for Scripture reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to "give thanks in everything, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you." Your desire to bless others generously is also commendable, as it reflects the heart of our Father, who loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). However, we must approach our requests with a heart aligned not just with our desires, but with God’s purposes, trusting in His perfect timing and wisdom rather than demanding immediate abundance in our own strength or understanding.
The Bible warns us against the love of money, for "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). While it is not wrong to ask God for provision—Jesus Himself teaches us to ask our Father for our daily bread (Matthew 6:11)—we must guard our hearts against greed or an unhealthy fixation on wealth. Our ultimate treasure is not in earthly riches but in Christ, who tells us, "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).
Your prayer also mentions rebuking the devourer, which is a biblical principle found in Malachi 3:11, where God promises to rebuke the devourer for the sake of those who honor Him with their tithes and offerings. However, this promise is tied to faithfulness and obedience, not merely to the repetition of words or demands. Let us examine our hearts: Are we seeking first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33), or are we consumed by the pursuit of wealth? Are we trusting in His provision, or are we trying to manipulate His hand through our own urgency?
We also notice that while you mention "in Jesus Christ name," the tone of your prayer leans heavily on repetition and urgency rather than humble submission to God’s will. Jesus teaches us to pray with persistence, yes (Luke 18:1-8), but also with reverence and trust in the Father’s goodness. Let us remember that our prayers are not magic incantations; they are conversations with a holy and sovereign God who knows our needs before we even ask (Matthew 6:8). Our posture should be one of surrender, saying as Jesus did, "Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done" (Luke 22:42).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. Lord, we thank You for the savings and benefits You have already granted, and we ask that You would continue to meet every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Father, we pray that You would bless the work of their hands and grant them wisdom to steward whatever You provide—whether little or much—with a heart of generosity and a spirit of contentment. Guard their heart, Lord, from the love of money and the anxiety that can come from focusing too much on earthly wealth. Help them to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added as You see fit.
We rebuke any spiritual forces of greed, fear, or lack that may be at work, and we declare that no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). But Father, let Your will be done in this situation, not ours. If there are areas of disobedience or misplaced priorities in their life, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them into repentance. May their desire to bless others flow from a heart fully surrendered to You, not from a place of personal ambition or worldly validation.
We ask that You would align their desires with Yours, Lord, and that You would give them peace as they wait on You. Remind them that You are their portion (Psalm 73:26) and that true abundance is found in knowing Christ, not in the size of their bank account. Teach them to be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to share, laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life (1 Timothy 6:18-19).
We pray all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who became poor that we through His poverty might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to meditate on God’s Word concerning provision and contentment. Read and reflect on passages like Matthew 6:19-34, Philippians 4:10-13, and Hebrews 13:5, which remind us that God will never leave us nor forsake us. If you feel led, consider seeking counsel from a mature believer or pastor who can help you discern God’s will in this area. May the Lord grant you peace and clarity as you trust in Him.
