Finances

"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,

that there may be meat in mine house,

an prove me now herewith,

saith the Lord of hosts,

If I will not open you the windows of heaven,

and pour you out a blessing,

that there shall not be room enough to receive it."

Malachi 3:10

Dear Father, I know that it is Your will to bless me.  I know that as I am faithful to pay my tithes and give to Your work, You will bless me. You said that as I give it shall be given back to me, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together.

Your Word says that You love a cheerful giver.  Help me to be sensitive to Your Spirit, and help me to be obedient to give as You instruct me.  Give me wisdom and understanding, that I might be a good steward over all that You have given me.  Help me to use discretion in my spending habits.  Let me be practical, sensible, and intelligent in all my buying decisions.

Give me creative ideas and new insight to create income for my family.  Help me to be productive and diligent in my job.  Give me favor with my employer.

I thank You, Lord, that increase and promotion come from You.  I thank You that I and my family are blessed.  Let us be financially successful so that we can be abundant givers to Your work and a blessing to others.

In Jesus' name I pray.  Amen

"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart,

so let him give; not grudgingly,

or of necessity:

for God loveth a cheerful giver."

2 Corinthians 9:7

"He that diligently seeketh good procureth favor:

but he that seeketh mischief,

it shall come unto him."

Proverbs 11:27

"For promotion cometh neither from the east,

nor from the west, nor from the south.

But God is the judge:

He putteth down one, and set up another."

Proverbs 75:6, 7
