His Finances
Obviously, his finances are mine, too. Praying for us to live in balance between spending needlessly and being miserly has been a great journey for me personally the last few years. I've always joked I could talk myself out of buying anything. I have found that just when I begin to feel proud of myself for saving so much money in an area, the Lord corrects me for not receiving something that I want or need because I think I can live without it. It all comes down to obedience...asking the question "Is this bread or seed?" Some people eat all their seed, the money God intended for them to bless others with. Other people plant all their bread, the money God gave for them to use personally, giving more than God intended, then finding themselves in a place of lack and blaming God for it. He is a good Father wanting more for us than we can fathom for ourselves or our own children. When it comes to money, know He loves you and just obey.

That is so great it was already in your heart to do this book. I know what you mean about feeling like you're praying the same prayer over and over. This book is helping me, because I feel like I have a record of what I prayed and I pray it a couple of times and then trust it's done and go to the next day. It's been a relief and has simplified things for me.
