Marriage Prayer – To Handle Our Finances Well

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the things that we have, those things we had, and that which we will have. May we never forget to thank You for Your goodness and grace.

Help us to be content. Teach us to rely on You when our finances are strained, and to trust that You will provide for our future.

Grant us courage when we’re facing difficult times–the courage to trust, and to press on knowing that You’ll make a way.

Give us the wisdom to save well, the self-control to spend within our means, and the common sense to cut back when we need to.

Finances have put a strain on so many marriages, and so we’re asking that You help us to grow in this area so that it never comes between us.

In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. – Proverbs 21:20, KJV
