MONEY & PROVISION
When Money Is Tight
Scripture addresses money with realism: work, planning, debt, generosity, contentment, justice, and trust all matter. Financial pressure is not evidence that God has rejected you.
Start with Scripture, not a slogan
Read the surrounding chapter whenever you can. A verse can be true and still be misused when it is pulled away from the argument, poem, story, or situation it belongs to.

A PRACTICAL NEXT STEP
Do one faithful thing today.
Ask for daily provision, clear thinking, discipline, honest work, wise counsel, and protection from panic decisions or shame.
Then choose one action small enough to do today: make the call, write the apology, ask for help, read the chapter, make the appointment, set the boundary, review the budget, or simply tell one trustworthy person what is actually happening.
