Prayers for financial stress

Are you in a financial crisis or know someone who is? These simple, Scriptural prayers can help you focus on the One who has promised to be your Provider.

God is the source of every good gift. The entire universe belongs to Him. He offers to strengthen us with His unlimited resources. He withholds no good thing from those who do what is right. (James 1:17, Psalm 24:1, Ephesians 3:16, Psalm 84:10

I pray that God uses these prayers and this time of waiting on Him to grow Your faith in Him as your very present help in times of need.
