If the holidays have you worried about stretching your budget, turn to God and ask for His guidance in helping you find solutions to manage your finances. Find solace and joy knowing His peace will guard your heart and mind.
Heavenly Father, when I worry about financial challenges, help me find comfort in Your presence and experience the peace that only You can provide.

Be a Source of Support

Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing. Night and day they were a wall around us.—1 Samuel 25:15–16 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, I long to be a pillar of strength, helping support those in need.
