Stop asking God for money alone. Ask Him for these 7 things instead.

1. Wisdom Money without wisdom can destroy a person. Ask God to help you make wise decisions, recognize opportunities, and manage your resources well. 2. Perseverance God may open the door, but you still have to take the step. Ask Him for the strength to keep going when the road gets difficult. 3. Patience God’s blessings don’t always come immediately. Ask Him to develop your character so you’ll be ready for what He wants to place in your hands. 4. The Right People The people around you can either help you grow or hold you back. Ask God to bring wise friends, mentors, and the right business partners into your life. 5. God’s Guidance Not every opportunity is a blessing from God. Ask Him to guide your steps, open the right doors, and close the doors that could lead you in the wrong direction. 6. Generosity God doesn’t bless us simply so we can accumulate more. Ask Him to teach you how to use your money in a way that allows you to be a blessing to others. 7. Sacrifice Big results often require giving up immediate comfort and gratification. Ask God to give you the willingness to sacrifice your time, comfort, energy, and convenience for something greater. Don’t just ask God to increase your income. Ask Him to increase your wisdom, character, discipline, and ability to steward what He puts in your hands. Because more money won’t change your life if you don’t have the wisdom to manage it.
