When You’re Waiting For a Financial Breakthrough
“And Jesus said, ‘The kingdom of God is like a man scattering seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows —he knows not how. The earth, by itself, produces first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. But when the grain is ripe, at once the man puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.’”
Mark 4:26-29
Going through periods of financial stress is an experience that most every human goes through. That doesn’t necessarily make it “normal” though. Just because many people experience job stress, divorces, and financial strains does not make them normal and it is definitely not the life God desires for us.
During his ministry here on earth, Jesus painted a picture of what the Kingdom of God is like.
How many times have you prayed for more money, a better job, or some kind of financial breakthrough and felt like God ignored you?
Praying is like sowing seeds.
You scatter seed on the ground and wait and trust that the seeds will turn into a great harvest!
Praying for your finances is important. It helps us to recenter ourselves on the true purpose of our money and connect it back to God. But the harvest does not come immediately. There is no manifestation going on, and there are no magic words you can pray in order to unlock more blessings.
There is no “right way” to pray for your finances, except to simply sow seeds and let God do the growing. .
The seeds you sow today will directly result in the kind of harvest you have tomorrow. What seeds are you sowing? Are you scattering any seed at all?
Join in on the 14-day Financial Revolution Prayer Challenge beginning on Monday the 16th where we will join together as a group and sow seeds for our personal finances through our prayers.
You’re invited to join this vibrant community of committed believers of Christ as we take a moment each day to pray over our finances and for financial revolution to begin in our hearts.
Are you ready to sow new seeds?
Join the Financial Revolution Prayer Challenge!
Hope you will join us!

Reflection Questions
- When was the last time you sat down and prayed over your personal finances? Not necessarily for more money, but for the wisdom to manage your money with excellence and to be a faithful steward?
- What is currently capturing your meditation? Do you spend much of your energy meditating on your problems rather than meditating on the glory of the God who has become your Father and who is always with you and who has given you all that you have?
- What other passages or verses can you find similar to Mark 4:26-29? Would it be potentially helpful to compile these somewhere and run to them when your life seems to be in a holding pattern?
