Day 2: Calling on God's Promises

In times of financial uncertainty, our natural instinct might be to rely on our own understanding or seek worldly solutions first. Today's verses remind us that God invites us to call upon Him first. He promises not only to answer but to reveal things we couldn't discover on our own. What mysteries of financial wisdom might God be waiting to show you?

Prayer:

God, I am calling out to you. I am taking time right now to seek You and to call out to You. And You said that You would show me things I do not know.

Lord, I don't know what to do next. My financial situation needs Your wisdom to bring relief. I don't have what it takes. But I know You do.

You said I can ask, and it will be given to me, seek and I will find, knock and the door will be open to me. Today, I'm knocking on heaven's door for:

• Clear direction in my financial decisions
• Wisdom to recognize opportunities You provide
• Discipline to follow Your financial principles
• Understanding of Your economy versus the world's economy

I take Your word seriously to mean what it says. I am asking: will You fill me with Your Wisdom in my finances? Help me to see the big picture and know what steps to take to move forward. Not the way the world thinks is a good idea, but how You see fit.

Show me what I am missing. Give me grace to see where I have missed it in the past, and show me how to move forward with You.

In Proverbs 3 it says to "trust in You with all my heart and not to trust in my own understanding." And as a result of this, You will make my path straight.

Since the fastest way between two points is a straight line, I recognize now that Your way is what gets me to my end result quickest. Trusting in You and acknowledging all You have done, are doing, and will do. Acknowledging how You created wisdom, therefore, You hold all of it.

I will lay down my own ideas and choose to trust in Yours. I will seek what You want at the sake of seeking what I want.

And thank You, Lord, that when I ask for Your wisdom, You will give it! I expect to see it start to unfold today.

In Jesus name, Amen.
