Day 4: Finding God’s Purpose

On this fourth day, turn your focus toward discovering God’s purpose for your financial journey. God’s plans for you are good. They are plans to prosper you and bring you joy. While it’s easy to think we know the best way to achieve success or to be swayed by the lifestyles of others, true fulfillment comes from aligning our lives with God’s will.

Sometimes, the success of others can become a distraction. It is easy to get swayed by others who dangle their successes in your face. These people live luxurious lives which makes you wonder what you are doing wrong. This can tempt you to chase financial gain outside of God’s guidance, which can lead you down paths that lead to destruction. Instead, trust that God has a unique path for you and that He will guide you into true prosperity if you listen to His voice and follow His ways.

Use today’s fast to seek spiritual direction, praying for clarity about His plans for your financial future. Ask Him to reveal His purpose for your life and give you the wisdom to stay on His path. No matter what decisions you face, let His voice be your guiding light, keeping you from anything that strays from His good and perfect will.

Prayer for Seeking God’s Purpose and Guidance in Finances

Dear Father,
I come to You seeking direction and clarity. Show me Your purpose for my life and guide me in every financial decision I make. Close my ears to all evil ideas that lead me away from Your will, and help me resist the temptation to follow glitter.

Grant me discernment, Lord, to distinguish between choices that are destructive and those that are rooted in Your truth. I cannot walk on this journey by myself, so take me by Your hand and lead me. Prompt me of Your Word when I lose sight of it, and let me not wander into destruction.

Strengthen my foundation in You and guide my steps in Your light. Blind me from all evil temptations, and help me walk confidently without following the crowd. I pray for wisdom to make the right financial choices every time. I commit my business and my work into Your hands, asking You to oversee all my financial decisions and prosper me according to Your purpose.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
