Is it right to pray for wealth and prosperity? Although the Bible is very clear in 1 Timothy 6:10 that “the love of money is the root of all evil,” it is also clear from Psalm 11:1-3 that “wealth and riches are for those that fear the Lord.” It is God’s desire to see His children move in great authority through building and distributing wealth. But what do you do when you can’t even get past living paycheck to paycheck? What’s your prayer whenever you get a financial breakthrough and there is another setback waiting on the other side? How will you protect your marriage and your life when you just feel like your finances are cursed and getting stable is a distant miracle?
You must stand upon God’s Word and pray these things through with your better half to strengthen your marriage. It is not God’s will for you to live in despair, nor for the poverty mentality to have its way with you. Here are 4 prayers to pray for wealth and to break financial curses over your life.
Here are the 4 Prayers to Pray for Wealth
1. Your Needs Will Be Met According to Christ’s Glory
Heavenly Father, I stand upon Philippians 4:19 which states, “My God will meet my needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” I thank you that I do not have to put trust in my ability to meet my needs, but I put my trust in Your ability to effectively work through me.
2. If You Seek the Lord, You’ll Lack No Good Thing
I stand upon Psalm 34:10, Heavenly Father, that declares “the lions may grow weak and hungry but those who seek the Lord shall lack no good thing.” Lord as I seek your face I am believing that I and my family will lack no good thing.
3. Wealth Will Be For the Righteous’ Children
Heavenly Father, I stand upon Proverbs 13:22 that states “a good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.” Father, I am believing in you for creative ideas and opportunities to build wealth in order to leave a legacy for my children’s children. Let this be done according to your will.
4. Blessings Will Pour Out For You
I stand upon Malachi 3:10-12, Heavenly Father, which states, “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops and the vines in your field will not drop there before it is ripe.”
Lord, we thank you as we are faithful in paying our tithes that you will not only protect our finances from the evil one, but you will also cause our finances to overflow. We rebuke the devourer and trust that every dollar you have for us is ours.

Lynne Schulze says
I think when God gives us a work its important to follow through, but i dont understand why this is just for black people only, your name alone tells me to stay away if im not black. the world segregates, but God has no respect of persons. May the Lord minister this to your heart, to include all his people. Love you with the heart of our savior Jesus Christ
Sylvia says
You are right about the world segregating and so forth. But many people of color want to hear from someone that is just like them. They want to see and hear from someone that knows their struggle and can relate.
It is important for people of color to have something that they feel like is “for them”. Why try and take it from from them and include the masses? Yes, the word of God is for everyone but God did speak to different tribes apart from the others.
Jan says
Interesting… isn’t Scripture supposed to be for all, not just one ethnic group? God doesn’t look on the outside, He looks on the inside. Just for “them”… we’re not a tribe anymore… we live in the New Testament, not the Old Testament. I’m sorry but you have politicized something that’s not supposed to be political.
Shirley says
Amen
Celeste Bouchard says
I am in debt and needed to read the financial prayers. I have to believe that money will come in soon. I am desperate. My bills are not paid and this upsets me. I pray the Lord comes through for me and He touches someone’s heart to send me hundreds and/or thousands of dollars. I am very poor and needy right now and NEED a financial blessing as soon as possible!!!
Natasha T Motayne says
He will indeed supply all your needs. Trust in him and you will have all the desires of your heart
Frances says
Thank you so much for that prayer
Kieshs says
Praying for you You and me both ??
Sylvia says
According to the word of God, what does the wife do when the husband (who is a Believer) doesn’t pay tithes but she does? He believes its not required to pay tithes because that is in the old testament; Jesus came to fulfill the law, so we’re under a new covenant.
They are struggling from paycheck to paycheck because he’s the only one working. She can’t get a job but he doesn’t believe his not paying tithes is affecting their finances or her being able to acquire employment.
Donna says
Thank you, God, for a needed miracle. I am a lost sinner and can only survive with your grace and mercy. Help my family and me, Lord! My pain is so great and my loss is too much.

Daiquiri says
THANK YOU for these prayers based on scripture. My mind has been muddled as I’ve wrestled with longing to see the promised blessings in my life AND being cautious about “loving money”. I was struggling to pray for financial blessing…wondering if it was “ok”, or if I was stepping toward selfishness and greed. This really helped clear it up for me…I’m looking forward to approaching to courts of Heaven and asking for consideration based on His promises ?.
TYPO ALLERT… you quote Ps 11:1-3. I couldn’t find what you were quoting. I think the chapter is actually 112 ?
Daiquiri says
Please disregard the strange punctuation. My emojis were replaced by “?” …I’ve gotta quit that emoji habit haha!
