In these trying financial times we need to remember the Lord Jesus leads us and walks with us.

Psalm 23
1 The LORD is my financial shepherd; I shall not lack.
2 He makes me to lie down in abundance: He leads me beside the quiet waters [of biblical financial stewardship].
3 He restores my soul [causing me to understand godly finances]: He leads me in the paths of righteousness [God’s way of thinking and living] for His Name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of debt, I will fear no evil [of financial ruin]: for You are with me; Your rod [the Word of God] and Your staff [divine prosperity principles] they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table [full of financial blessings] before me in the presence of my creditors: You anoint my head with the oil [of the Holy Spirit’s wisdom]; my bank account overflows.
6 Surely goodness [the blessings I receive that I did not earn] and mercy [deliverance from the financial ruin that I did earn] shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
