If you're a believer, you've probably heard the saying "give it all to God" about a hundred times. It's a piece of advice I that is given SO often, but how many of us actually learn to give it ALL to Him? Because when you really think about it, giving up control of EVERYTHING in your life is not an easy thing to do. It takes tremendous faith to put your life, past and future, FULLY into God's hands.
And even when we say that we've "given it all to God", oftentimes there are still things we're holding onto for "safe" keeping. Things we still want control over and want to figure out on our own. We might hold onto these things because we truly think we can handle them on our own OR we don't think God really cares about it, so we keep it to ourselves.
Finances is one of those areas you might find yourself holding tight to, instead of letting God take the reins.
When in reality, the SAFEST place for our finances is with God. Allowing Him to guide you in your decisions about money, trusting Him to supply you with all you need and thanking Him for what He has provided already will bring you amazing freedom in the area of finances.
If you're feeling anxiety over finding your main source of income, searching for a new home you can afford or relieving the pressure from debt, remember, pray specific prayers!
If you're believing for a career change or a new job right now, don't just pray for a job in the field you want. Pray about the location, pay, coworkers, environment and challenges you want. God cares about every detail!
If you're believing for a new home (or even your first home)—be specific! Think of where you want to live, what kind of kitchen you want, and what schools are nearby for your kids. You're going to spend A LOT of your time there, so make it a place you enjoy.
And, if you're believing to get out of debt that's weighing you down, invite God into that process with you. Lean into His guidance to lead you to a place where you can feel secure in your finances again.
God cares so deeply about every aspect of your life, especially your financial stability and freedom. God created you! He knows what you want, what you need and what will help you thrive. He knows you SO well that even when you pray for every last detail, you might find He checks boxes you didn't even think of!
When you get to a place where you can fully trust Him you'll not only feel freedom financially—but you'll have the capacity to bless others with that freedom!
