Scripture
2 Corinthians 9:6-9
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for GOD loves a cheerful giver. 8 And GOD is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:
“They have scattered abroad their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.”
FATHER , increase in us the joy of giving. Help us to know that a giving heart glorifies YOU. Make that realization part of who we are. Make it an instinct and a reflexive action.
GOD, increase our storehouses so that we can continue to give increasing amounts to the Church, to the poor, and to unbelievers who are in need.
LORD, money is not evil, we know that we can use money to do great things in YOUR kingdom.
We give YOU our money, GOD. It’s YOURS anyway.
YOU’VE just given it to us to watch over and use for YOUR glory. Help us to do that. HOLY SPIRIT, remove any rotten, selfish parts of our hearts that would want to hold on to our money and to use it for selfish purposes.
FATHER, I pray against condemnation too.
YOU haven’t called us all into poverty, and it’s not wrong to have nice things, but help us to recognize these things for what they are: temporary.
LORD, the cry of our hearts is to be more like YOU.
Let that motivation be what governs our choices when it comes to finances.
Thank YOU, FATHER. We love YOU!
LOVONG FATHER, I come to YOU today with grateful thanks for the gifts and promises that so readily stream in my direction from YOU. So often LORD, my foolish heart is filled with worry and anxiety and I find myself looking at the problem of my supply instead of looking to YOU as my generous SUPPLIER. Please forgive this lack of trust in YOU, for I know that YOU have promised to supply all our needs according to YOUR riches in glory, for which I thank and praise YOU.
LORD, I want to be able to hand over each and every one of my worries to YOU, and to develop a generous and outgiving personality that keeps my eyes on JESUS, rather than continuing to be the “worrier” that I have become. I know that this does not honour YOUR Name and I so desire to walk in the paths of righteousness and become a person with a generous heart that flows from YOUR OWN generosity, a grateful heart that is full of trust and thanks to YOU, WHO has done so much for me.
LORD, I know that I cannot change my nature myself, but I do know that in the power of the HOLY SPIRIT can take my worries and anxieties captive and hand them over to YOU, turning them into purposeful praise, knowing that in all things YOU are the supplier of all I need.
I ask this in JESUS Name,
Heavenly FATHER, YOU are our only SUPPLIER and SUPPLY and it is upon YOU that we rely entirely. We are living in a difficult world, in a society that is facing increasingly precarious economic difficulties. The money for which we work is becoming sawdust in our pockets and the prices of the simple basics of life are escalating out of control, and LORD we have no one but YOU upon WHOM to rely and we are trusting YOU for our provision today.
LORD, we believe YOUR WORD is true and that YOU have promised to supply all our needs according to YOUR riches in glory. Thank YOU for the amazing example of the Israelites in the wilderness, who received sufficient manna for the day as a promise from YOU, and LORD we believe and know that YOUR promises are no less true today than they were in those distant days gone by.
Help us to walk by faith and not to be swayed by the mountainous problems that surround us on every side. Help us to live by faith and not by sight, and trust YOU to provide sufficient provision for our daily need. Help us to read YOUR WORD and reckon it to be true and not to doubt YOUR promises. Help us to trust YOU entirely in these increasingly precarious times and look to YOU with childlike trust, knowing that YOU are the ONE we depend upon for life.
We ask this in JESUS Name,
