What is Provision?

Prayer for God’s Provision
“Lord Jesus, I thank You that You love me unconditionally and that You are both willing and more than able to provide for me.
At the cross, You were made poor so that by Your poverty, I can be abundantly supplied today! You are my Provider, Your favor surrounds me as with a shield and You open wide doors of good opportunity for me.
I do not have to struggle or despair. As I wait on You for Your supply in my life, I choose to focus on and give praise for Your great love for me. Amen!” (Prayer by Joseph Prince)
