You know, life can sometimes feel like a tricky balancing act, especially when it comes to money matters. But don't worry - we're in this together!
Today, we're diving into the topic of financial health and how our faith can guide us through those money minefields. I want you to know that no matter what your bank account looks like right now, you're valued beyond measure. So grab a cozy spot, take a deep breath, and let's explore how God's wisdom can bring peace to your financial world.
As you read through today's devotional and prayer, I encourage you to open your heart and listen for that still, small voice of guidance.
A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
Leviticus 27:30

Short Devotional
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by money worries? King Solomon (learn who he is here), the wisest and richest man in the Bible, understood that true wealth comes from God. He taught that honoring God with our possessions brings blessings beyond measure. What would it look like to put God first in your finances today? Consider setting aside a portion of your income as holy, just as the Israelites did with their crops and livestock. This practice of tithing isn't about following rules but trusting God's provision and partnering in His work.
As you reflect on your own financial journey, remember that God cares deeply about every aspect of your life, including your bank account. He promises to provide for His children, just as He provided manna for the Israelites in the desert. What step of faith might God call you to take with your resources? Let's pray to God, asking for His guidance and provision in our financial lives.

Let's Pray
Heavenly Father, You are the source of all good things. Your name is holy and perfect. I come before You with reverence and wonder, knowing that You are the Creator of the universe and the giver of every blessing.
Lord, Your kingdom is greater than anything on earth. I want Your will to be done in my life, especially my finances. Help me align my money choices with Your perfect plan.
God, You promise in Your Word that "Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord." I believe this truth from Leviticus 27:30. Teach me to honor You with my money and possessions.
Father, I wholeheartedly believe in Your promise of provision in my life. Grant me my daily bread and the discernment to manage what You entrusted me. Help me to place my trust in You above my bank account. When anxiety about finances creeps in, remind me of Your unfailing care, even for the birds of the air and the flowers of the field.
Forgive me, Lord, for the times I've been selfish with my money or forgotten to put You first. I'm sorry for ignoring Your teachings about generosity and tithing. Please help me do better and follow Your ways with my finances.
Guide me to make smart choices with my money. Protect me from greed and the love of money. Instead, fill my heart with love for You and others. Show me how to use my resources to bless those in need and support Your work in the world.
I pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus, who gave everything for me. I trust in Your promise to provide for Your children. Thank You for Your never-ending love and care.
Amen.
