You Don’t Have to Hustle for God’s Provision
Hard work matters. But trust matters more.

You Don’t Have to Hustle for God’s Provision
We live in a world that glorifies hustle.
Work more. Sleep less. Grind harder.
As if rest is weakness and stillness is laziness.
But God’s economy works differently.
He invites us to work with excellence, yes.
But not from a place of fear or desperation.
“It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.”
God doesn’t reward burnout.
He blesses faithfulness.
You don’t have to hustle your way into His provision.
You just have to walk with Him in wisdom and trust.
Today’s Practical Step:
Identify one area where you’re striving more than stewarding.
It could be:
✅ Chasing side gigs but ignoring rest
✅ Obsessively budgeting out of fear
✅ Saying yes to financial pressure to please others
Write it down.
Then ask God to help you shift from striving to surrendering.
From fear to faith.
You don’t have to do it all. You just have to do the next right thing…with Him.

A Simple Prayer for Today:
God, thank You that I don’t have to earn Your provision. Help me work with diligence but also with peace. Show me where I’ve been striving and help me return to a posture of trust.
Amen.
