Share your gifts so others are fed and welcomed

Keep most blessings for yourself and give only leftovers

Use your gifts mainly with people who can return the favor

Use your gifts to gain attention and praise

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and that I need your mercy. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord. Let your life grow in me so I can become fruitful and bring blessing to others. Amen.

Come and Make My Life Fruitful

Lord, revive your church to be beautiful in holiness, fruitful in mercy, and full of nourishment for a hungry world. Make us a shelter for the weary and a place where the vulnerable can rest, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your People Fruitful Again

Father, thank you for the gifts you plant in our lives that can become food for others. Thank you for beauty, abundance, and provision that spills beyond us, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thanks for Shared Provision

Bring these before God: the places where you hoard instead of share, the ways you can use your time and resources to nourish others, the desire to become a safe place for the weary, and gratitude for the abundance he has already given.

Grow Me Into a Blessing

Lord, provide for those who lack enough to eat, shelter those who have nowhere safe to rest, and make your people attentive to the needs around them, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

For the Hungry and the Vulnerable

Thank God for one specific provision in your life. Then ask him to show you one person who needs food, help, or welcome, and ask how you can share what you have today.

Pray to Share What You Have
