Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with a heart full of gratitude and a desire to be a good steward of the resources You’ve entrusted to me. I acknowledge that everything I have is a gift from You, and I pray for wisdom in managing my finances in a way that honors You.
Lord, guide my decisions and help me to be diligent and responsible with my money. Teach me to cultivate contentment and to recognize the difference between my needs and my wants. May I not be swayed by materialism, but instead find fulfillment in Your presence and in serving others.
Help me to budget wisely, to save prudently, and to give generously. Strengthen my resolve to invest in what truly matters and to prioritize the well-being of my loved ones and those in need. Remind me that true riches lie not in worldly wealth, but in the abundance of grace, love, and joy that flows from a life lived for You.
Thank You, Lord, for being my provider and sustainer. I trust that as I take steps to honor You with my finances, You will faithfully provide for every need. May my financial stewardship bring glory to Your name and reflect Your generosity to the world.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
