Money used to make me anxious.
And not because I didn’t have any.
I’ve had seasons of feast and seasons of famine—and let me tell you, both can test your faith in different ways.
What made me anxious wasn’t the number in the account.
It was the pressure to prove something with it.
To grow for the sake of growth.
To match someone else’s milestone.
To live up to what “success” was supposed to look like.
Then I hit a wall.
I was burned out, still hitting revenue goals—but joyless.
Every decision felt like a trade-off between integrity and income.
That’s when I started praying differently.
I stopped asking God for more money.
And I started asking for more peace, more discernment, and more alignment.
And guess what?
The money didn’t change overnight.
But my relationship with it did.
Here’s what I believe now:
Abundance is not how much you earn.
Abundance is how clearly you hear.
When you hear what’s for you…
When you trust the season you’re in…
When you know how to move with intention, not just urgency…
What changed practically?
I started leading my finances the way I lead my business:
- I built systems for stewardship, not stress
- I created space for tithing, saving, and spending with joy
- I stopped tying my self-worth to revenue spikes
- And I redefined “growth” as sustainable impact, not flashy metrics
Now I look at money through a different lens:
What is this here to support? Who is this meant to bless? Where is this meant to go?
For the entrepreneur who’s feeling the pressure…
You don’t have to hit six figures this quarter to be worthy.
You don’t have to prove your value through your prices.
You don’t have to sacrifice peace to earn prosperity.
God’s math looks different.
He multiplies what’s surrendered.
He provides what’s needed.
And He leads us to wealth that doesn’t come with sorrow attached.
“The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.”
— Proverbs 10:22
That’s when finances stop being a fear and start becoming a flow.
