Personal Prayer
Praise God as the giver of every good and perfect gift (Jas. 1:5, 17). Give thanks for the indescribable gift of his only Son. Confess any times when you have taken God’s gifts to you for granted. Commit yourself to searching Scripture for more knowledge of the “riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us” (Eph. 1:7-8). Ask that your heart’s thirst be quenched and your soul’s hunger be satisfied in God as with the richest of foods (Psalm 63).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that their private and family devotions be filled with thanksgiving, and that their hearts be moved to give to causes that help a needy world.

For the Church
Pray that your congregation may have faith that “you will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion” (2 Cor. 9:11).

For the Kingdom
Pray for the agencies that show God’s love to the needy in your community, that they not only may supply needs but also bring in overflowing expressions of thanks to God (9:12).

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that they might accept the gospel and be able to say, “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 Jn. 3:1).
