God cares about every aspect of your life, including health and wealth. Bring all your concerns to God in prayer instead of worrying, which is just a failed attempt at control. When you ask boldly and stay grateful, God's peace guards your heart and deepens your prayer.
Have you ever heard someone say, God isn't concerned with your health, wealth, or happiness? This is a religious saying that on its face sounds pious and holy and true. After all, it's so harsh, so it must be true, right? Well, not exactly. While we understand that blessings aren't the central message of the gospel and that believers will face trials and persecution, it's also true that God cares about every detail of your life. And there's nothing wrong with bringing your material needs to him. Philippians 4:6-7 says, don't worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Now notice that prayer takes the place of worry. Worry is a useless attempt at control. Worry is your flesh's powerless counterfeit for prayer. You can be thankful You can be thankful and still ask God for more. That's not a contradiction. You can do both at the same time. And don't feel guilty when asking. God doesn't have to take from someone else to give to you. And here's the best part. Once you've made your prayer request, which is an important part of prayer, now you're filled with his peace, and then the peace of God will fill you. And that peace enables you to focus so that you can go deeper in prayer. So the prayer request isn't selfish or immature or greedy. To deeper prayer.
