10 Inspirational Bible Quotes for Financial Troubles

1. In Matthew 6:28-30, the Bible teaches us that God will care for us:

And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,

yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

2.The Bible also warns us about getting hung up on money - something many of us do - in Matthew 6:24:

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

3. The Bible helps us to deal with anxiety, granting peace of mind in Philippians 4:6-7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

4. We are reminded in James 1:2-4, that God tests us and when we are tested, these trials help us to grow stronger.

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5. In Matthew 6:34, we are told not to worry about what will happen tomorrow. We live in the now and it is now we must focus upon.

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

6. Philippians 4:12-14 reminds us that through times of hunger or when we are satiated, it is God's love that grants us power and strength.

I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction.

7. It is said that God provides and we are reminded of this in Matthew 7:7-8:

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

8. No matter how desperate things become, have faith in that God is always with us. We are reminded of this in Isaiah 43:2-3:

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they will not overflow you
When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,
Nor will the flame burn you.
For I am the LORD your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I have given Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your place.

9. In times of need, we turn to God and He will show us the way. Proverbs 3:5-6:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

10. The Bible also promises that God will bless those that bless others, as stated in Proverbs 11:25:

The generous man will be prosperous,
And he who waters will himself be watered.
