STEWARDSHIP PRAYER

O God, I resolve to put You first in
my life. I recognize that You have
blessed me with all that I have and
all that I am.

I commit to giving back to You the
first portion of my blessings. Doing
so may seem scary at times, but I
hear Your reassurance in Scripture:
"Do not worry anymore," and know
that I can depend on You.

I resolve to sacrifice when necessary
but always to do so out of a spirit of
sincere love, just as Your Son, Jesus
did for me. I humbly accept the
challenge to share from my means
rather than from my excess.

I recongnize being a good steward
is nothing more than being truly
Christian. I thank You Lord for
blessing me and I trust in Your love.

Dear God, I resolve to be generous
with my time, talent and treasure.
giving in proportion to the gifts I
have received. At times I may fail, but
I pledge to keep trying. In so doing,
I will confidently live each day
serving You from the heart.
