Dear Lord,
We come before you today to ask you to help us be more generous.

We pray:
Gracious God, give us generous hearts...

so we may fully appreciate all you many gifts to us.

so we may give without counting the cost.

so we may share without expecting something in return.

so we may know the joy that comes from helping others.

so we may share all that you have given us.

so we may hold all our treasures in an open hand.

so we may recognize the many blessings in each new day.

so we may learn the difference between what we need and what we want.

so we may ever thank you and serve you.

Lord, we ask all of this, knowing that you will always give us all that we need.
Please bless the work we do for you today and always.

Amen
