Scarcity Will Not Rule My Character
Full Text
I declare that financial fear will not rule my character. I will not abandon honesty, generosity, responsibility, or love because resources are strained. I will make sober decisions, seek wise counsel, and take practical action. I refuse both despair and fantasies of effortless wealth. God is forming faithfulness in me. I will steward what is in my hands while trusting Him for what is beyond them.
Scripture References
Philippians 4:11–13
"I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
Proverbs 3:9
"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops."
