Powerful Prayer in Time of Economic Hardship
The most important thing to remember before praying for a financial miracle or breakthrough is that God cares more about our heart’s disposition than how much money we have or will have. Many times when God speaks of “prosperity” for His children, He is speaking of strong faith, long life, good health, blessing of family and friends, etc. Notice how God’s “prosperity” oftentimes has nothing to do with money. God knows that if our heart and motives are not rightly ordered, wealth could actually hinder our spiritual progress and relationship with Him — the most important aspect for our earthly lives.
That being said, God is infinitely wise. He understands that having money is a necessary part of life. After all, how can we bless others with the gift of finance if we ourselves are lacking? Once our priorities are properly ordered with God first, our Lord loves to bless (financially) His children – especially when He knows we will be good stewards of those blessings.
3 things to keep in mind before seeking a financial blessing
1.) God must remain FIRST
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money” –Matt. 6:24;
2.) We must first be trustworthy with the gifts God has already given us
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” –Lk 16:10-11
3.) We are called to be good stewards with what He is about to give us by giving to the poor (Prov. 22:9) and tithing to His Church
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house. ‘Test Me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it’” –Mal. 3:10.
(*Note: This is the only place in the Bible where God asks us to “test Him” — and it is with our finances!)

Powerful Prayer in Time of Economic Hardship
Heavenly Father,
It is symptomatic of our life today that
economics plays a large part in it.
People labor zealously for a wage so that
they can acquire the needs of life.
They also work for the so-called luxuries of life,
for the opportunity to have more leisure,
to develop themselves in more ways,
and to keep up with their particular state of life.
Right now I find myself in a bad economic situation.
I just cannot seem to make enough money
to meet all of my obligations.
Please help me in this dangerous situation.
Teach me to live within my means
while at the same time striving to
increase those means.
Let me never lose heart, but continue to work on.
Most of all, Lord, inspire me to seek first
Your Kingdom in the knowledge that
everything else will be given me together with it.
I pray this all in the Name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
