Strengthen us in those moments to fight our impulses by yielding to the power of the Holy Spirit within us. Sometimes, there are things that we never knew we needed until the bright discount sticker catches our eye. Forgive us for mindlessly buying things in dollar sections and store end-caps. Thank You for blessing us with money to spend, and help us to honor You with our choices. In a society that lifts money up to such high importance, it’s extremely hard to battle our mind’s eye each day. You consistently say that we are Yours and remind us, through Your Word, of Jesus’ sacrifice for us.įather, we confess our financial challenges. You are the only one equipped to balance and judge where we are at. You know who we are, and You know our heart’s intentions and our struggles. That You love us indisputably and always, whether we are precise accountants or frivolous spenders. Thank You for reminding us, through Your Word, that we do not. Without a concrete Rock to stand on, we would drift along thinking that we somehow have the power to trump Your authority. Nothing we do or say can add or subtract from His sacrifice… or from who He is.
The freedom Christ won us on the cross is what it is. Paul reminds us in Ephesians that there isn’t anything we can do to gain or lose our salvation.
No poor decision we make, irresponsible purchase, or insurmountable debt can separate us from Your love. Nothing trumps Your just and loving hand. Use this prayer to confess your challenges with money and ask for God's help and wisdom!įather, praise You for saving us by Your indisputable grace. He is waiting help us and guide us… even through the mistakes we continue to struggle with. When the incorrect choices we make affect our family, friends, and responsibilities, we can turn to God in prayer… trusting that He is not waiting to mound a side of guilt on top of our conviction. How do we have faith that God will provide for us when we’re struggling to keep our lights on, gas in our car, and our growing children in clothes that fit? What about the ache to reach out to others when we lack the means to do it, or having to tell our kids they can’t join their peers because the budget is maxed out?Įvery day we debate ourselves over what to spend our money on. Many of us feel the tight bonds of our budget each month. “It is by grace we have been saved.” ( Ephesians 2:5)
