We understand your desire for financial blessing, but we must address this prayer request with biblical truth and wisdom. The Bible never encourages believers to seek wealth through games of chance like the lottery, which are rooted in greed, covetousness, and the love of money—all of which Scripture warns against. Instead, God calls us to trust in His provision, work diligently, and seek first His kingdom, knowing that He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Let us examine what Scripture says about such matters:
*"But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."* (1 Timothy 6:9-10, WEB)
*"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, WEB)
*"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:33, WEB)
Rather than asking God to bless a lottery win—which is not aligned with His will—we should pray for His guidance in stewardship, wisdom in finances, and contentment in all circumstances. If you are facing financial hardship, we encourage you to seek God’s provision through honest labor, generosity, and trust in His faithfulness. He may open doors for you in ways you never expected, but it will always be for His glory and your growth in faith.
Let us pray for you in a way that honors God’s heart:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear one before You, asking that You would align their desires with Your perfect will. Forgive any misplaced hope in worldly riches, and replace it with a hunger for Your kingdom and righteousness. Lord, we ask that You provide for their needs in ways that bring You glory—whether through work, unexpected blessings, or the generosity of others. Teach them to trust in You alone, knowing that You are their Provider and Sustain. Remove any love of money or greed from their heart, and fill them with contentment in every season. May they find their security in You, not in fleeting treasures, but in the eternal riches of Your love and grace. We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
We also encourage you to reflect on what true blessing looks like in God’s eyes. Is it wealth, or is it a heart fully surrendered to Him? He may be calling you to a deeper trust in His provision, and we pray you will find peace in His promises. If financial struggles are weighing on you, seek wise counsel from your church community or trusted believers who can help you steward what you have and explore godly opportunities. God is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
