If there's one thing that can cause headaches, sleepless nights and arguments with your spouse... it's finances. Even if everything else in your life is going great, when a money crisis happens, it has a way of throwing a raincloud over it all.

Maybe you were passed over for a promotion or lost your job entirely. The bills could be piling up faster than the paycheques. You might be filling out your hundredth job application after months of fruitless job hunting. Or maybe the car quit working all of a sudden, and the added expense is straining your budget.

Whatever it is, you need to know this: God hasn't forgotten you. He knows exactly what you need before you even need it. He has gone ahead of you to make a way. You can trust Him for a creative answer, because He wants to bless you! It's not His desire for you to be broke, stressed or down and out.

Whether the answer comes in an instant through your boss rewarding your hard work with a bonus—or more slowly as you make wise decisions to build your finances with God's help—you need a foundation in His Word

The Word is full of promises that you can begin to claim. You might know some of them already, but knowing is just the first step. Then you need to convince your heart.

One great way to do that is to speak the Word out loud! Grab a verse and make it personal. Take time to meditate on that promise and picture yourself walking it out. Feel the smile on your face as you land an amazing job. Imagine being able to take your family on vacation or having enough to bless a single mom by buying her groceries.

You can go to Philippians 4:19 and say, "God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Not just some of your needs—ALL of them. And He doesn't supply them based on the size of your need or how much you deserve it. His supply is according to HIS riches.

If you've been working your fingers to the bone just to scrape by, you can declare the promise in Proverbs 10:22: "God's blessing brings me true riches, and He adds no sorrow to it." He's able to bless you in ways that don't rob you of family time or damage your health.

In fact, you can start painting a vision of the future where blessings overflow and you pour generously into the lives of people around you! Declare this: "He provides everything I need and more—I have plenty left over to share with others" (2 Corinthians 9:8).

To give you a head-start, here's this month's Walk in the Word. It's a set of God's promises about finances, and they're all phrased so YOU can make them personal.
