Lord, I Need You
Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
— Psalm 118:25–26
Dear Father, You who are gracious and kind, hear my prayer! I face more financial pressure than I can bear. “Save [me][me] from the womb” promise to continue to carry me and deliver me through any problems I may encounter. Right now, Lord, I ask for deliverance from difficult financial issues that You are well aware of. Lord, I know that this apparently impossible situation is not impossible for You, that You are sovereign and wise and good, so I ask You for wisdom and to deliver me — and to You be all the glory! Deliver me, I pray, that I may faithfully serve You in all things.
Walking in Truth
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. — 3 John 1:2–4
Thank You for Your Word, Lord God. Thank You for its message of truth and encouragement. I am especially encouraged today by the apostle John’s words that reflect Your fatherly love: “I pray that you may prosper in all things.” Give me the courage, Lord, to be a faithful steward of all that You have entrusted to me. Enable me to wisely untangle current financial knots. Most of all, even as I address today’s financial needs, help me to look beyond them, to walk in Your truth, and to rejoice in the hope of eternity with You.
