Personal Prayer
Give praise to Jesus as the manna that has come down from heaven, the bread of life who nourishes the hungry with himself (Jn. 6:48-51). Thank him for taking care of your spiritual as well as your physical needs. Confess those times during the past week when you have failed to come to Jesus in prayer in order to receive all that you need. Commit yourself to spending more time in his presence. Ask Jesus to show you his power to take care of all the desires of your heart (Mt. 6:33).

For Your Family and Friends
Ask God to give parents wisdom in teaching their children how to give a part of their income, no matter how small, to God. Pray that through this giving, children may learn to trust in their heavenly Father’s ability to provide.

For the Church
Lay before God the financial needs of your congregation and ask God to show those who work with finances the best way to use the monies that have been offered.

For the Kingdom
Pray for generous giving to meet the desperate needs of those stricken with famine, earthquake, war, floods, or other disasters. Ask God to use such giving as a powerful witness to the gospel (2 Cor. 9:10-14).

For People to Know Jesus
Pray for the unsaved people you know who struggle with a shortage of money. Ask God to use these circumstances to turn them to him for help, through the generosity of the church.
