Circle or underline any key words or phrases you See:
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith an pierced themselves with many pangs." (1 Timothy 6:10)
"Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6
Savor these truths in prayer for you and your student:
"Father, as I pray for _____ today, I long for them to have their hearts captured by you and your love. So many things can steal their affections—the love of money being the most significant and potentially tragic. Your Word says that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Don’t let that ever be the driving force of their lives. May your glory and the good of others be their primary goal. Protect them from fear of the unknown, which can tempt them to rely on money. Give them confidence in knowing that you will never leave or forsake them. You are their helper; there is no need to fear. For your glory and their good, in Jesus’ name, amen."
