Promises for health and wisdom and other daily needs

  • God Satisfies the Hungry Soul

    “Bring the full ten percent into the storehouse so that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this way,” says the gracious Lord of Hosts. “See if I will not open for you the floodgates of heaven and pour out such a blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it all” (Malachi 3:10). Lord God, Your Word teaches us to give first, to make sure Your kingdom is taken care of first; then we will receive from Your gracious hand what we need, and will receive abundantly.

    Open wide your mouth and trust the Lord to fill it.

    “Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the waters [of the living God]… Listen carefully to Me and eat what is good and let your soul delight itself in abundance” (Isaiah 55:2).

    Lord God, You brought me out of my slavery, my Egypt. Then You said to open wide my mouth and You will fill it (Psalm 81:10). Please do as You have promised.

    O God, You provide food for those who fear You; You remember Your covenant forever (Psalm 111:5). God satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good things (Psalm 107:9). Lord, You fill the hungry soul with good things (Luke 1:53); my loving Father, thank You or filling me.

    By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life (Proverbs 22:4). I shall have plenty to eat and be satisfied; and I will praise the name of my wondrous God who has dealt wondrously with me (Joel 2:26).

    We are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, O Loving Lord, and You give us drink from the rivers of Your pleasure. For with You is the fountain of life, and in Your light we see light (Psalm 36:8-9).

  • God Gives From His Abundance

    Everything in and under heaven belongs to our God (Job 41:11). The Father says, “My son, you are always with Me and everything I have is yours.” (Luke 15:31) I will not be anxious about anything, for it is my Father’s good pleasure to give me the Kingdom (Luke 12:31-32). As I first seek His Kingdom and its needs, all things will be added to me as I need them.

    His bounty is so great compared to our needs.

    Your Word tells us that whoever has pity on the poor is really lending to You, and You will pay back what has been given (Proverbs 19:17).

    Following Your Kingdom guidelines, my loving God, I give and it is given to me, a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over — poured into my lap. For with the same measure I use, it is measured back to me again (Luke 6:38). Good will come to me because I deal graciously and lend freely, and conduct my affairs with justice (Psalm 112:5). I am a generous person, so I will be prosperous; I water so I will myself be watered (Proverbs 11:25).

    I trust my God to send the rains in their proper season so I can harvest my crop, because I carefully obey the commands He gives me — to love the Lord my God and to serve Him with all my heart and all my soul (Deuteronomy 11:14).

    Because of my God’s generosity, I am like a tree planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in due season; whose leaf does not wither. Whatever I do prospers (Psalm 1:3). I am like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes. My leaves will be green and I will not be anxious, even in the year of drought, nor will I cease from yielding fruit (Jeremiah 17:8).

    Lord, please guide me continually, satisfy my soul in this parched land, and make fat my bones [strengthen my frame]; and I shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring whose waters never run dry (Isaiah 58:11).

    I sow bountifully and so I reap bountifully. I give cheerfully and my God makes all grace flow to me in abundance, so that in all things at all times, having all sufficiency in all that is needed, I abound to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:6-8). My glorious and gracious Father, I pray this promise knowing You supply all my needs, and You want me to let the abundance overflow to others.

  • Promises For Material Needs

    The Lord God is my Shepherd, and I have no more want (Psalm 23:1) because Jesus was made poor, that through His poverty I might have riches (2 Corinthians 8:9). For Jesus came that I might have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10), that is, life in its fullest (Phillips). There is no lack in my house, for my God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:4). My God crowns the bounteous year with His goodness and His paths drip with abundance (Psalm 65:11). My Gracious God has declared that He will satisfy His people with abundance and we will be filled with His bounty (Jeremiah 31:14).

    God’s paths always overflow with abundance.

    You, my dear Lord Jesus, came that I may have life and have it to the full (John 10:10). I acknowledge, O my Savior, that Your will for me is abundant life. Full life! The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy things concerning me and my life. I stand against him in Your mighty name; I bind satan from destroying my things, from stealing from me, from messing with my inheritance! And Lord Jesus, I gratefully accept the abundant life You came to bring me.

    My God supplies all my needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Dear Father God, please lead me to learn the many graces of my Lord Jesus, that though He was rich, yet for my sake He became poor so that I, through His poverty, might have an abundance (2 Corinthians 8:9). Please help me to continually discover the riches of Christ Jesus in my life today and every day.

    God has stated: The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just ones (Proverbs 13:22), and I thank my God Father that He has made me one of the just. I will do my part by acting on God’s Word and abiding in His love, knowing that God always does His part.

    I trust in the Lord, and so I will prosper (Proverbs 28:25). I will be diligent in every deed I begin in God’s service, I will be diligent in every commandment He gives me, and I will always seek my God and His paths for me — and so I will prosper (2 Chronicles 31:21).

    From the words of my mouth and the fruit of my lips I am satisfied with good things, and the work of my hands shall come back to me as a harvest (Proverbs 12:14). The Lord God promised: What the righteous desire will be granted (Proverbs 10:24) for the Lord blesses the home of the righteous (Proverbs 3:33). Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings (Isaiah 3:10).

    A faithful man will abound with blessings (Proverbs 28:20). All blessings shall come upon me and overtake me because I obey the voice of the Lord my God (Deuteronomy 28:2).

    The Lord be exalted! For the Lord God delights in the well-being (health and happiness) of His servants (Psalm 35:27). Exalt the Lord, O my soul!

  • Co-Heirs With Christ Jesus

    When praying for daily needs, the only need we really have is: to stay abiding in Christ Jesus. If we are abiding in Jesus, our Father has promised to watch over us and keep us. “Tis only the abiding that can really satisfy the thirsty soul and give to drink of the rivers of pleasure that are at His right hand.” (Andrew Murray)

    The whole secret of a happy Christian Life is “revealed in the child relationship — nothing more is needed than just to believe that God is as good a Father as the best ideal earthly father.” (Hannah Whitall Smith).

    We are the children of God, and therefore His heirs; and our possessions come to us, not by working for them, but by inheritance from our Father. Oh, dear friends, how little some of you act like “heirs of God”! How poverty-stricken you are and how hard you work for the little you do possess!

    God did not use the figure of a Father without knowing all that relationship implies; and those who know Him as Father know the whole secret [of His love]. They are their Father’s heirs, and may enter now into possession of all that is necessary for their present needs.

    (The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life)

    Being “in Christ” and all that it means to Christian maturity and freedom is the overwhelming theme of the New Testament. For example, in the six chapters of the book to the Ephesians alone there are forty references to “being in Christ” and of having “Christ in you”.

    Your spiritual union with God is complete and eternal because it is provided by Christ Jesus Himself, who is complete and also eternal. Therefore, you are spiritually alive in Christ right now. Eternal life you posses right now, because you are “in Christ” right now. And so you have God’s ear right now, as well as His love for you.

    God’s Word is spiritual law.  It functions just as sure as any natural law… Spiritual Law is for your good.  It is to produce the things you need and desire.  Therefore words are very important.  Begin now to become Word Conscious.  Words are little seeds that produce after their kind. 

    Prayer is your legal right, it is your vehicle for you to use faith filled words to bring God on the scene on your behalf, that your joy may be full (John 16:23-24).  It is the Word abiding in you that causes faith to be present in your words when you pray (John 15:7-8). 

    Prayer is one of the means of releasing faith, so if we line ourselves up with God’s Word and release our faith when we pray, we will see the power of God come alive in our lives. (Charles Capps)

    “If you abide in Me and My words abide in you…” (John 15:7). It is not the Word as a whole, but the Word – as it were – broken up. It is the precepts and promises of Scripture personally appropriated, fed upon by faith, hidden in the heart. ‘Abiding’ means no fitful, spasmodic, occasional exercise and experience, but a constant and habitual communion with God through the Word, until its contents become the substance of our innermost being.

    So study the Word, fellow Christian! Let your words be full of God’s life and power, and you will see the wonders of God’s mighty love.
