Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with an open heart, seeking Your wisdom and guidance over my finances. I am grateful for all the blessings You have showered upon me and ask for Your continued provision and protection in my financial journey. Help me to manage my resources wisely and to be a good steward of all that You have entrusted to me.
Please grant me the courage to make wise decisions and the discipline to follow through. Open doors of opportunity that will allow me to flourish, and provide me with the insight to recognize and seize these opportunities.
Guard my heart against worry and fear, and replace them with faith and trust in Your divine plan. Help me to remember that my worth is not measured by my wealth but by Your love and grace. Guide me to use my finances to not only support myself but also to be a blessing to others.
Thank You, Lord, for Your unending faithfulness. I place my financial concerns at Your feet, trusting that You will provide according to Your riches in glory. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
