Prosper

It's time to pray some positive prayers for the financial health of our neighbors and family. There has been too much bad financial news this week.

My brother's business is not going well and financial pressures mount. Our neighbors are about to lose their house due to layoffs. This morning, my daughter-in-law lost her job. My son's family will face a trying time until she can find a new one.

Enough is enough! Here are some great prayers from my friend, Ruth Shinness:

• You, God, are supplying all my needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (But my God shall supply all of your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:19 KJV)
• Because you are my shepherd I do not want for any good thing. (The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. - Psalm 21:1 KJV)
• I enjoy all the things you have richly given me. (God giveth us richly all things to enjoy. - 1 Timothy 6:17b KJV)
• Because I love you, you have caused me to inherit wealth; You have filled my treasures. My heart is overflowing with thanksgiving. (That I may cause you to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries. - Psalm 8:21 NKJV)
• Everything I set my hand on is blessed. I am blessed in the land you have given me. (The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. - Deuteronomy 28:8 KJV

I wrote down a line from Carly Fiorina last week at the Leadership Summit. Commenting on being fired from Hewlett-Packard, she said, "There is a gift in everything." I can't wait to see the gifts that God unfolds.
