Treat the extra as a reason to stop paying attention

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and need your mercy. I turn from my sin and cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as Lord and ask you to take my life and lead me. Thank you for receiving me. Amen.

Receive Me, Lord Jesus

Lord, revive your Church to receive what you give with humility, unity, and care. Where we have been careless, make us faithful; where we have been divided, make us one; where we fear the weight of your blessing, make us steady. Let us gather what you send without tearing one another apart, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your Church Able to Carry Your Blessing

Father, thank you for the abundance you provide and for keeping what you entrust to us from falling apart. Teach me to notice your generosity, to count your gifts with gratitude, and to receive them with joy, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank You for the Full Catch

Name one area where God has given you more than you expected. Ask him for wisdom to handle it carefully, gratitude to enjoy it rightly, and generosity to share it well.

Pray Over What You Have Been Given

Pray for people who feel overwhelmed by responsibility, provision, or success. Ask God to give them calm hearts, honest hands, and the grace to hold what he gives without fear.

For Those Feeling Overloaded

Bring these to God: one gift you need to steward well, one person you can share with, and one fear that makes you cling too tightly.

Steady Hands, Open Hands
