Save now, I pray, O LORD; O LORD, I pray, send now prosperity – Psalm 118:25
Did the verse just say for God to send prosperity? Let yourself imagine the reactions of some believers if they heard the prayer that the Psalmist prayed to God? They would surely accuse the psalmist of believing in the Prosperity Gospel. I can imagine that someone else would try to correct the psalmist praying, telling him that it is inappropriate to ask God for prosperity. The reality is that asking for prosperity does not offend God. What a person who is in poverty needs is financial prosperity. What a person who is suffering from depression needs is soul prosperity. God wants us to be honest with Him and ask for the things that we need. The bible says that He will supply our needs according to His riches in glory. So, we see that God has many riches and He wishes to lavish them on us. And as He is sovereign, He can decide not to give us IF we are asking out of a wicked heart instead of a godly heart. But one thing is certain, if we do not ask, we do not receive.
It is my job to ask God, and it is His job to decide upon what I ask. It is not my job to play God and decide on His behalf
