Personal Prayer
Praise God as the one who again has supplied you with all you have needed this week. Thank him for putting some of his resources into your care. Confess any waste or mismanagement of those resources this week. Commit yourself to sharing with God’s people who are in need (Rom. 12:13). Ask God to bring to mind the name of someone with whom he would have you share by showing hospitality (12:13).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that your children and those of your friends learn principles of Christian stewardship from an early age. Ask God to make you an excellent example for them.

For the Church
Pray that those entrusted with the special spiritual gift of contributing to the needs of others will give generously (12:8). Ask God to give you and all members of your church a desire to lay up their treasures in heaven (Mt. 6:20).

For the Kingdom
Pray that God will keep prompting his people to overflow with love and good deeds. Ask that such generous love will result in people praising the Father in heaven (Mt. 5:16).

For People to Know Jesus
Pray for Christian missions to be so generously supported that they can focus on evangelism instead of fund-raising. Ask God to multiply their resources and effectiveness, bringing many into his family.
