A Prayer for When You're Anxious about Finances By Christine Perry "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 NKJV When the apostle Paul wrote this verse, he was in prison. In that day, prisons were designed to psychologically and physically torture a prisoner into confessing. Most prisons were underground, dark, and filthy, and rations were sparse. In fact, many prisoners relied on their friends and family for their needs. So here Paul is saying, in prison, that God supplies all our needs. Imagine you are in prison for doing exactly what God asked you to do. And unable to feed yourself. For most of us, the pressure to cover our everyday costs is enough, but think if you couldn't work for provisions. You may be in a season now where you've lost the ability to provide. Or you need help to provide like you used to. Perhaps you have medical bills that keep piling up. I once heard a man say, "You won't know God as provider until you need Him to provide." |
