A Prayer for When You Are Anxious About Funds – Your Each day Prayer

A Prayer for When You are Anxious about Funds
By Christine Perry 

“And my God shall provide all of your want based on His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 NKJV

When the apostle Paul wrote this verse, he was in jail. In that day, prisons had been designed to psychologically and bodily torture a prisoner into confessing. Most prisons had been underground, darkish, and filthy, and rations had been sparse. In actual fact, many prisoners relied on their family and friends for his or her wants. So right here Paul is saying, in jail, that God provides all our wants. Think about you’re in jail for doing precisely what God requested you to do. And unable to feed your self. For many of us, the stress to cowl our on a regular basis prices is sufficient, however assume in the event you could not work for provisions. Chances are you’ll be in a season now the place you have misplaced the flexibility to supply. Otherwise you need assistance to supply such as you used to. Maybe you’ve gotten medical payments that hold piling up. I as soon as heard a person say, “You will not know God as supplier till you want Him to supply.” 

Psalm 24:1 NKJV says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those that dwell therein.” And Hebrews 3:4 NKJV says, “For each home is constructed by somebody, however He who constructed all issues is God.” Since God created every part, He can provide all our wants. Every little thing is the Lord’s anyway. The Lord’s means to supply shouldn’t be contingent in your circumstances. He is similar yesterday, at this time, and without end (Hebrews 13:8). 

Generally the Lord’s provision comes via knowledge, data, skills, and talent to do particular duties. In Exodus 35:31-33 God selected a person named Bezalel and Oholiab to be an artisan to assist construct the tabernacle. Different instances, the Lord gives day-by-day, as He did to the Israelites as they had been within the desert. Deuteronomy 8:1-6 encapsulates God’s provisions by reminding the Israelites that He offered manna for meals and saved their sneakers and clothes from carrying out. If we’re trustworthy, we do not all the time like the way in which God gives. We need to be snug and have further, but when your wants are met at this time, God is offering! The pioneer missionary and founding father of the China Inland Mission, Hudson Taylor, stated, “Rely on it. God’s work carried out in God’s method won’t ever lack God’s provide. He’s too clever a God to frustrate His functions for lack of funds, and He can simply as simply provide them forward of time as afterward, and He a lot prefers doing so.”

Let’s pray:
Expensive Father, 

Thank You for waking us up at this time. Thank You for permitting us to dwell one other day. Thank You that You’ve got already gone earlier than us and know what the day and our futures maintain. Irrespective of the place we go — You’re there. Thank You aren’t solely our Father, however our supply (1 Corinthians 8:6). Thank You that You’re conscious of us (Psalm 139:7-10), and You recognize our wants higher than we do. Thank You that You’re working all issues collectively for Your glory and our good (Romans 8:28). Father, like a toddler involves their father or mother(s) for his or her wants; we come to You. You’re the starting and the top (Revelation 22:13). Nothing is just too exhausting for You (Jeremiah 32:17). In Psalm 34:6, you say, “This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.” Lord, You aren’t blind or deaf to our conditions. I ask that You assist us run to You, figuring out You’re the maker of all issues (John 1:3). Lord, we carry our monetary state of affairs to You. It’s too heavy for us to deal with. However thank You that You bear our each day burdens (Psalm 68:19). Thank You that You’re all the time ready (2 Corinthians 9:8). Lord, we commit ourselves to You. Thank You for salvation.
