Personal Prayer
Praise God, who is the source of all wealth and prosperity on earth (1 Chron. 29:12). Give thanks for all the material blessings God has given to you. Confess any occasions when you have tried to “store up for yourself treasures on earth” (Mt. 6:19). Commit yourself to remembering that wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, are a gift from God (Eccl. 5:19). Ask him to open your eyes to new opportunities to use your possessions for the benefit of others.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for family members or friends who have difficulty managing their household finances. Ask God to provide the help they need to be better managers.

For the Church
Pray for the deacons of your church. Thank God for their integrity and honesty as they handle the financial resources of your congregation. Pray also that your congregation will be a church of cheerful givers.

For the Kingdom
Ask God to raise up people to contribute generously to the ministries of the church worldwide. Pray that real needs will be met without undue strain. Pray also that contributions will be used wisely.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray Eph. 1:18 for any unsaved person you know, asking especially that his or her spiritual eyes will be opened to see the eternal treasure of life in Christ.
