It is a mistake to make prosperity a goal. The Scriptures clearly teach that prosperity is a consequence, not a goal. The reason the Bible is filled with so many verses about divine provision is not to make us materialistic but to assure us of the Father’s abundant provision. He has repeatedly promised to take care of us so we don’t need to concern ourselves about such things. We can focus our faith and our prayers on more important matters.
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
— Matthew 6:33
Lord Jesus, teach us to pray for the coming of Your Kingdom and the doing of Your will on earth as it is in heaven. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
