I REFUSE the lie that my health is too expensive to matter. IT IS WRITTEN that God desires I prosper in ALL things AND be in health. I am Abraham's seed by covenant, heir to the BARAK blessing that commanded provision on my storehouses. My medications are NOT waste—they're stewardship OF the body God gave me. IT IS WRITTEN there is no condemnation for those in Christ—none for costing money, none for needing provision. I receive abundant supply for every need.
Your Father isn't tallying costs and finding you too expensive—He's the One who owns cattle on a thousand hills, RUNNING toward you with lavish provision. Your health matters infinitely more to Him than money, and He celebrates every pill that keeps His beloved son thriving.
