Bible verses for when you're worried about money

God knows what you need. That isn't a promise of riches, but it means you don't face the bills alone.

Money worry follows you everywhere: the store, the mailbox, the middle of the night. These verses don't promise riches. They promise you aren't facing it alone.

What it sounds like

  • “We're not going to make it this month.”
  • “I don't know how we'll pay the bills.”
  • “I'm scared about money.”
  • “What if I lose my job?”

Four verses for today

  1. 1Matthew 6:32-33

    Read in context
    For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

    Your Father knows what you need. Jesus says to put His kingdom first and trust Him with the rest.

  2. 2Luke 12:24

    Read in context
    Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

    God feeds the birds, and you matter far more to Him than they do.

  3. 3Hebrews 13:5

    Read in context
    Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

    Contentment rests on a promise: God will never leave you or forsake you, with money or without.

    What Hebrews 13:5 means

  4. 4Philippians 4:12-13

    I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. In any and every situation I have learned the secret of being filled and being hungry, of having plenty and having need. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

    Paul learned to be content with little or plenty. Christ gave him strength for both.

A prayer

Father, I'm scared about money. You know what we need better than I do. Give us what we need for today, show me the next wise step, and help me trust You while I take it. Amen.

Questions people ask

Does God promise to give me money?

No verse promises wealth. Jesus does promise that your Father knows what you need (Matthew 6:32), and Hebrews 13:5 promises He won't leave you. Many faithful people have been poor. God's care is real even when money is tight. Be careful with anyone who says a gift to them will make God give you money.

What can I do besides pray?

Pray, and take practical steps too. List what's coming in and going out, ask your church whether it helps with bills, and talk to someone you trust. Asking for help isn't a lack of faith.
