Money can feel like one of life’s biggest stress points. Bills, unexpected expenses, saving for the future — it adds up quickly. But Scripture reminds us that God cares about every part of our lives, including how we handle what He provides. Trusting Him with our finances doesn’t mean ignoring responsibility; it means managing money wisely while resting in His provision.
Live Within Your Means
Spend less than you earn. It sounds simple but can be hard to practice. Build a budget that covers your essentials, sets aside something for savings, and avoids relying on credit to fill gaps.
Give Generously
Generosity is a powerful act of faith. It reminds us that everything we have is God’s and that He is our provider. Start small if needed — a consistent percentage or planned giving can reshape your heart toward trust and gratitude.
Save Wisely
Emergencies happen. Setting aside even a little each month creates a safety net and reduces fear when the unexpected comes. It’s one way to be a wise steward of what God has entrusted to you.
Seek Counsel and Learn
If finances feel overwhelming, talk to someone you trust or meet with a Christian financial counselor. Learn about budgeting, debt reduction, and planning. Wisdom grows when we invite help.
Reflect
Where do you feel the most pressure with money? Is it spending, saving, or giving? Ask God for peace and wisdom as you make changes.
Call to Action
Pray today:
Lord, help me handle money with wisdom and trust. Teach me to be content, generous, and prepared for what lies ahead.
