During financial hardship, many people turn to prayer for comfort, strength, and guidance. The Bible offers powerful verses that remind us of God’s provision, faithfulness, and desire for us to prosper.
Here are 5 Bible verses you can use when praying during times of financial struggle:
1. Philippians 4:19
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
Use this verse to declare that God is your ultimate provider. Even in lack, trust that He knows your needs and will supply them in His perfect timing.
2. Matthew 6:31-33
“So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’… But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
This reminds us to focus on God, not our worries. Make it your prayer to trust Him more deeply.
3. Psalm 37:25
“I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.”
Pray this to remind yourself of God’s faithfulness to those who walk with Him.
4. Malachi 3:10
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse… Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven…”
If you’re giving faithfully, pray this promise boldly. It’s one of the few times God says, “Test me.”
5. Deuteronomy 8:18
“But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.”
Declare this truth when asking for ideas, jobs, or business opportunities. God gives us the wisdom and strength to earn a living.
In every prayer, mix faith with your words. Ask God not only for provision, but for peace, guidance, and wisdom to manage what He provides.
