Lord God, first-of-all, I want to acknowledge that You have blessed me. So much so that I need Your wisdom and guidance in my financial decisions. Your Word promises that if I lack wisdom, I should ask, and You will give generously.1 I ask for that wisdom now as my desire is to take care of what You’ve entrusted to me. Help me to honor You with my wealth and the first fruits of all I produce.2
Guide me in making financial decisions that reflect a heart committed to Your kingdom and righteousness.3 Keep You at the center of my plans, knowing that all blessings come from You.
Your Word teaches that the diligent lead to abundance, but haste leads to poverty.4 Grant me patience and diligence in my investments. Guard me against hasty decisions, teaching me to gather little by little and trusting that steady growth will increase over time.5
Protect my heart from the love of money, which leads to temptation and destruction.6 Help me to focus on You, knowing that You are my true provider and will meet all my needs according to Your riches in glory.7 Like the parable of the talents, I want to be a faithful steward, multiplying what You’ve given me for Your glory and the good of others.8 Guide me in making wise investments, preparing for unforeseen circumstances, and diversifying as Your Word advises.9
I commit my work to You, trusting You to establish my plans.10 Let me delight in You, knowing that You will align my desires with Your will.11 Help me to work heartily as for You, remembering that I am serving Christ.12
Bless me so that I may bless others, freely giving as You have called, and bring glory to Your name,13 in Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
