Despite the overwhelming amount of resources for time management and work-life balance, the ability to cultivate the efficiency and equilibrium needed to manage all our worthy pursuits can often feel frustratingly out of reach.

Yet, the Bible also compels us to provide for our families, declaring in 1 Timothy 5:8 that failing to do so is a denial of faith. This duality of financial stewardship—balancing material responsibility with spiritual integrity—is at the heart of "Prayers for Financial Miracles." Throughout history, many saints have navigated their own financial hardships, turning their trials into testaments of faith.

Jesus was never in a hurry to be anywhere other than where he was, trusting and obeying his Father. Could the same be said of us?
