A Prayer for Money

Good Morning!
One of the most common prayers people lift up is about money. We ask God for increase, for relief, for a breakthrough. And there’s nothing wrong with wanting provision. God is the One who supplies our needs.

 Scripture never says money is evil. In fact, the Bible gives us examples of wealthy, faithful people: Abraham, Job, David, Solomon, and Esther. Wealth can be a blessing when it’s held with the right heart.

 

But Paul warns us: “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” It’s not the money—it’s the desire, the greed, the craving that turns a gift into a god. 

When money becomes the focus, it blinds us, traps us, and can pull us away from the faith. The question isn’t whether you have money; it’s whether money has you.

 

So what’s your prayer today? To be rich for comfort and self‑gratification? Or to be trusted with resources so you can bless others?

 

Joseph’s Generosity found in  (Genesis 41–47) is a beautiful picture of what godly stewardship looks like. God elevated him from the prison to the palace and placed wealth, authority, and resources in his hands. But Joseph didn’t hoard it. He didn’t use it to boast or build his own kingdom. 

When famine struck, Joseph used the provisions God gave him to save nations. He fed Egypt. He rescued his own family. He turned his blessing into someone else’s survival.

Joseph shows us that when God places resources in your hands, it’s not just for you it’s for the people He intends to reach through you.

Pray not just for money, but for purpose. Pray not just for increase, but for impact. Pray to be a channel, not a container.

Be blessed.
