Dear God,I surrender my financial affairs and concerns about money to your Divine care and love.I ask that you remove my worries, anxieties, and fears about money, and replace them with faith.I know and trust that my debts will be paid and money will flow into my life.I have only to look to nature to see proof of the abundance you provide.I release all negative thoughts about money, and know that prosperity is my true state.I commit to being grateful for all that I now have in my life.I learn to manage my finances wisely, seeking help where needed.And finally, I ask you to help me understand my purpose in life and to act on that purpose with courage and strength. I know that prosperity will come, in part, by doing work I love. Please help me use my skills and knowledge to be of service in the world.Thank you, God.Amen

Another prayer

Show Me the Course
Steer the ship of my life, good Lord, to your quiet harbour, where I can be safe from the storms of sin and conflict. Show me the course I should take. Renew in me the gift of discernment, so that I can always see the right direction in which I should go. And give me the strength and the courage to choose the right course, even when the sea is rough and the waves are high, knowing that through enduring hardship and danger in your name we shall find comfort and peace.
- Basil of Caesarea (c. 329-379)
