A Prayer for Provision
When the bills outpace the bank account and worry creeps in, this is a prayer to bring your needs to the God who provides.
Father, You know exactly what I need before I ask.
I bring my needs and my worries to You.
Provide for me and my family, and open the doors that should open.
Teach me to trust You for my daily bread, one day at a time.
You are my provider, and I rest in You. Amen.
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19
You don’t have to pray alone
On The Living Bread you can ask the family of God to pray for you and watch prayers be answered, or pray for someone else who needs it today. It is free, and you are welcome exactly as you are.

Questions people ask
What Scripture is a prayer for provision built on?
It rests on Philippians 4:19. The prayer above is written in plain words around that passage, and the verse is quoted from the stored text, not from memory.
What if I have no words to pray for provision?
Start with the first line of the prayer above and stop there if that is all you can say. God hears the first honest sentence. You can also ask the family of God on The Living Bread to pray with you and for you.
Can I pray this for someone else?
Yes. Change the first person to their name and pray the same lines for them. Praying for others is part of loving one another, and you can ask the family of God to join you.
Pray this
Lord Jesus, you see For Provision and you know every person there by name. We bring you provision, work, anxiety. Teach us to love one another, as you have loved us. In the name of Jesus, amen.
