This is a very interesting subject. The Bible is clear on some subjects; yet, others are not as clear or easy to understand.
Some groups major on the minors, sort of speak, and minor on the majors.
Today our culture and life-style is different than when the Bible was written.
Is there a specific area that you are addressing?

Prayers for your financial healing.
It is difficult when the income is not as great as the outgo / needs.
Illness can wreck havoc with any budget.
Bill's illness was devastating in many ways -- financially assuredly!
I was discouraged. What I did was pray for every need and every bill. When I received a blessing no matter how seemingly insignificant, I thanked God and wrote it down in a journal.
What happened is my journal entries grew in quantity and size.
God is faithful. He answers prayers. If we are thankful for little, He knows He can trust us with bigger.
We always gave to others. We did not "give to get" or give leaving our creditors without. We shared with others a portion of what was given to us.
I also kept a computerized journal of what we spent. I noticed an area that we could cut back in. I started taking a sack lunch to work -- significant savings each week.
From what I can understand, more income is needed. You and Ike could assess what your physical limitations are; and what you CAN do with your gifts / talents.
The computer has brought income opportunities in the home. Not an easy fix, but perhaps do-able.
One of our customers, still employed by her company, now does most of her work at home on the computer.
I use to do auction templates and sell them on eBay. I did not make a lot of money, but I did enjoy it. Some people have developed a real talent in this area plus developing logos for small businesses. DD got her first store logo from a person on eBay.
The most important part is PRAYER and trust that God will lead you.
