Personal Prayer
Glorify God as the one who fills all of your desires and needs with his presence alone. Thank God for being sufficient for you even when every other source of joy or support is taken away. Confess your dependence on other people or situations to make you content and happy. Commit yourself to making Jesus your “pearl of great price,” and ask him to make you willing to give up all you have for the sake of his kingdom, if necessary (Mt. 13:44-46).
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that God will lead them into a life-style that reflects a love for God, not a love for things.
For the Church
Ask God to pour his blessings especially on those members who, like the poor widow, are giving their very last dollar so that God’s work can be accomplished in your neighborhood.
For the Kingdom
Pray for the hunger, agriculture, and disaster relief organizations around the world, that they may use the funds given them to the best possible ends.
For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to bring to your mind the material needs of an unsaved acquaintance so that you will be able to help meet those needs and bring that person closer to the kingdom.
