Dear Father,
Thank you for this day. You always provide. Still, I’m trying to cut back on things until my savings gets back up to where I want to be, You willing. So, trim the fat a bit. I know I need to work on my stewardship, but that’s what I’m trying to do. I feel like Your Holy Spirit is resisting me on it though.
I’m basically thinking of getting rid of every donation but tithing. If I acquire more money, I can be more generous, but if I’m withdrawing from my savings every month? Something is wrong with my spending. Now, Lord, I pray that you give me more hours at work so I won’t be struggling. Right now tithing is hard, and it shouldn’t be. I feel like in saying this I am accusing You of not providing, which isn’t right, because You do. Please help me with my finances and my faith, because I am certain they are intertwined.
Please help me do Your will. If it’s giving, then I give, and if not, then I don’t. Obeying You is the key thing. Not worrying about money, serving money, nor acting in fear instead of faith.
Please help me work with You to see what is pleasing to You, and then do it.
Love,
Trem
