In this article, we are going to look at 12 prayers for financial breakthroughs with Bible verses that help to fast-track the actualization of our journey to economic prosperity.
12 Powerful Prayers for Financial Breakthrough with Bible Verses
These are the prayer points to pray when you need a financial breakthrough in your life and business:
Father, Thank You for Your Promise of Wealth and the Blessing that Makes Those Who Believe in You Rich. Thank Lord in Jesus’ Name
Every prayer engagement must begin with thanksgiving to God. That is the first thing to do as you begin to pray – thank God for prayers answer or His promises about answering prayers/that particular prayer.
For scriptural reference, you can see 1 John 5 verse 14 and Philippians 4 verse 6.
Father, Empower Me with the Power to Make Wealth. Through Wisdom, Strength, Knowledge, Understanding, Perception, Insight, and So On, Lord Make Me Equipped for Financial Prosperity, Lord in the Name of Jesus
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. – Deut 8:18
The scripture above clearly states that there is a power to get wealth. You can see that power to mean an enabling. There is an enabling from God that ensures wealth creation. It could be in the form of strength, an idea, a job offer, and so on.
One idea from God can turn your finances around. That is why this prayer is powerful and important. Asking God for such empowerment is crucial as it shows God you are ready to put in the “work” that’s needed for you to turn your financial situation around.
Father, I Ask for the Blessing to Rest Upon My Life. Let Your Blessing That Makes Rich Rest Upon My Life Today, Lord in the Name of Jesus
And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. – 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
The scripture above shows what is called the prayer of Jabez. From it, we can see that there’s something called the blessing of God. Jabez prayed in verse 10 and said “Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed…” The truth about God is there is no poverty in his blessing. Every time you see God bless a man, He takes lack from his life.
Look at the life of Father Abraham for instance. In Genesis 12, God told him to leave his father’s house and that He (God) would bless him. Abraham obeyed and the result was in Genesis 13:2 where the Bible records how extremely rich Abraham was.
All through the scriptures, we can see how God’s blessings upon a man’s life can produce wealth. Not just enough for them to live by but enough for them to make a difference in society.
Another important scripture to take note of is Proverbs 10 verse 22;
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it
Now, pray the prayer, understanding that God can bless you and it can produce wealth in your life. Ask for the blessing of God upon your life, your business, your family, and all that you lay your hands to do.
Lord, Save Me From the Vulnerability that Comes with Lack and Want. Cause a Turnaround in My Financial Situation that There Would Be Enough Money for Me to Handle My Needs, Take of the Family, and Influence Those Around Me
For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: – Ecclesiastes 7:12
There is a level of vulnerability that comes with not having money. This is not about being content. Without money, you are at risk. There’s almost nothing you will want to do on the Earth that can be done effectively without enough money. That’s why this prayer is important.
In Ecclesiastes, the anchor scripture for this prayer point, we can see that wisdom creates a defensive wall and money also does. If all you have for your defense in this world is wisdom, you are going to encounter problems in certain areas. When you have both at your disposal, you can rest knowing your walls of defense are strong enough.
Father, Give Me the Finance Needed to Support Your Church and Work on the Earth
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. – Luke 8:3
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house… – Malachi 3 verse 10
One of the reasons why it is important to have finance is to support the Church and the work He is doing on the Earth. This is why I always ask God for finances. When He gives me money, I am going to use it for myself and to cater to my needs but I am going to also give to His work, support church projects, help those in need around me, and much more.
We are not designed to hoard resources. God expects us to be channels, blessing others through the resources He supplies. If you have this mindset, to be a blessing, you’ll see your finances explode in no time.
Lord, Let Financial Prosperity be a Reality in My Life. I Don’t Want to Be Vibrant in Spirit Alone. I Want to Control Physical Resources, in the Name of Jesus
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. – 3 John 1:2
It is good to focus on spiritual growth and other things that directly impact your faith in God. However, the place of money in our lives cannot be relegated or ignored. In the scripture provided above, the writer makes a sincere wish that the people will prosper in all things and live in good health even as their soul prospers because of the word of God and prayers.
The writer didn’t wish for prosperity in some things. It says “prosper in all things.” This prayer is important. God intends for us to be complete, well-rounded, and fully established in all things. So, when we pray in this manner, we are praying His will and He will answer speedily.
Father, Bless the Works of My Hands. Make Everything That I Do to Bear Fruits and Bring the Financial Explosion that I Desire, in the Name of Jesus
The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. – Deuteronomy 28:12
God is not a money doubler. He doesn’t support or sponsor idleness. From Deuteronomy 28:12, we can see that He isn’t just going to cause money to fall from heaven like Manna. He says He will bless the work of your hand.
Reading through the scripture again I can see several promises from God that guarantee your financial breakthrough is a guarantee: His good treasure, heavens releasing rain, and blessing the work of your hand. It is similar to the idea of giving us power to make wealth.
So, if you’ve got something to do, let’s say you are a handyman, pray that God blesses the works of your hands. In the next example, we are going to look at a prayer point that is very crucial to this one.
Lord, Help Me to Be Diligent. Help Me to Use My Opportunities Wisely. Let Me Not Waste the Financial Open Doors You Are Bringing My Way
Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men. – Proverbs 22:29.
A lot of times I have seen people try to tear open the heavens in prayer for open doors and financial upliftment but they are downright lazy and unwilling to do anything productive.
As I said in the introduction, prayer alone doesn’t make people rich. To be rich, you have to be productive and offer value. You can’t pray then sit and fold your arms and expect to become rich. No. You must deploy your ideas, skills, strength, and wisdom to work for money to come into your bank account.
We need to be prepared to execute the ideas and do the work needed to become financially prosperous. That’s why this prayer is important.
Lord, Bring Me into That Dimension of Financial Abundance. Let Me Not Just Go By but Have Enough to Be a Blessing to Others
Then you will lay your gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks. – Job 22:24
Christians are happy with being average. They are content with just going by. While contentment is good, in fact, the Bible says “Godliness with contentment is gain,” average is not God’s plan. This prayer point’s anchor scripture says you will lay up gold. You won’t just have gold. You will stack them up.
From having a checking account to a vibrant emergency fund to robust retirement savings, God can supply the finance that you need to live a life beyond average.
Father, Open My Eyes to Find and Discern the Right Investment Opportunities That Will Make Me Experience Breakthrough in my Finance
Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days. Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, For you do not know what evil will be on the earth. – Ecclesiastes 11:1-2
Having established that prayer alone is not the only thing that guarantees your financial prosperity, it is important to mention that making the right investments is crucial for getting the answers to the prayers in this piece.
You must be able to know good investment opportunities and seize them. There are so many shiny objects in the financial market. I have lost good money on some investments. This is why you should pray this prayer with all diligence. The Bible encourages investment but it also says “A fool and his money are soon parted” (Proverbs 21:20).
Don’t be unwise. Pray for God to lead you before you make any investment and seek financial help from experts in the field.
God, Cause Men to Bless Me. Let Your Oil of Favor Rest Upon My Life, Forcing People Into Blessing Me With Their Substance
When the ear heard, then it blessed me, And when the eye saw, then it approved me; – Job 29:11
Whether you want to believe it or not, there is a favor that compels resources in your direction. You could get anything you want on the strength of that dimension of God’s blessing. In the text, Job is literally saying “Anyone that comes in contact with me was moved into blessing me.”
This can be your reality. You can be going about your business and someone tells you they just feel like sending you money or your boss could just decide to give you a pay raise. It is possible. Through this prayer, be prepared to encounter underserved financial blessings.
Father, Thank You for Answers to Prayers Because I Believe You Have Done It
We have confidence in God that He is able to answer our prayers and since we have prayed according to His will as revealed in His word, we are sure we have received answers to our prayers. Bless the name of the Lord for answers to prayers as you get set for a miraculous explosion in your finances.
