Personal Prayer
Praise God, who is the creator of both rich and poor. Thank him for giving you the ability to produce wealth (Deut. 8:18). Confess any time you have put your trust in your earthly possessions rather than in the spiritual riches of God (8:13-14). Commit yourself to living contentedly with all that God has provided. Ask him to give you a generous heart toward those who have less.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that God will meet physical and financial needs among your family members and friends. Pray for opportunities to give what you can to meet their need.

For the Church
Pray that God will add his blessing to the stewardship of your congregation. Pray also for the wise distribution of funds to meet various needs.

For the Kingdom
Ask God to open the pocketbooks of church members worldwide. Pray that there will be an outpouring of generosity equal to that of the Macedonian Christians (2 Cor. 8:2) in Paul’s day.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that unsaved people will view believers as unselfish and giving. Ask that they will be drawn to Christ as they observe selfless acts of service.
