When we ask God to provide us with all our material needs, we have to make sure we are asking for the right reasons. Is our pursuit of money an end in itself or is it a means towards self actualization as outlined by the teachings of the Torah? When we use all of the gifts that Hashem bestows upon us and recognize the source then money becomes a blessing. However, just as easily money and its pursuit can become a curse. Judaism and the teachings of the Torah help us see clearly how to use financial prosperity for soul's spiritual journey in this world and to accomplish its unique mission. Otherwise money and the pursuit of it can take us off course and become our downfall.
