Personal Prayer
Praise God as the Creator, Father, Savior, Lord, and indwelling Spirit of his church. Give thanks for “the holy catholic church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.” Reflecting with God on how you aid or damage his church, confess any sin he reveals. Commit to being a helpful member of God’s community. Ask him to work through you to serve and enrich others.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for each member of your household to forget what is behind and strain toward what is ahead, pressing on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called them heavenward in Christ Jesus (Phil. 3:13-14).

For the Church
Pray for each member of Christ’s body to excellently manage the treasures and gifts placed in his or her care. Ask God to prompt you to loving and generous service.

For the Kingdom
Pray for financial needs to be abundantly met in various efforts to advance God’s kingdom around the world. Ask God for vision as well as finances.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to draw people to himself through your generous love.
