Keep what he has and add more private devotion

Release what he owns, sell it, and give the proceeds to people in need

Give a small portion now and keep the rest for later

Wait until he feels fully ready before changing anything

Ask God for peace about your money, but leave your resources exactly as they are

Give only what is easy, then postpone any bigger change

Release what you own enough to help people in need, and keep moving toward Jesus

Focus on spiritual goals and assume your money choices do not matter

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned by clinging to my own way and by loving my possessions more than I love you. I cannot make myself clean or complete. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you to be my Lord and Savior. Lead me from self-centered living into following you. Amen.

Follow You With a New Heart

Lord, revive your Church. Where we have become attached to comfort, money, and control, open our hands again. Teach us to value your kingdom above what we own, to give freely to the poor, and to follow Jesus with joy. Awaken us to costly obedience and living hope, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Loose Your Church From Earthly Grip

Pray slowly by naming one possession, habit, or priority you are reluctant to release. Ask Jesus whether he is calling you to hold it differently, give it away, or use it for someone in need. Then listen quietly for one next step.

Pray Through What You Hold

Pray for people who lack money, housing, food, or security; for believers to notice them; and for practical help to reach them quickly and with dignity.

For People in Need

Bring thanks for the promise that what is surrendered to Jesus is not lost to emptiness. Thank him for a reward that is lasting, unseen, and held with God.

Thankful for Heavenly Reward

Lord Jesus, I don't want to cling to what I own more than to you. Show me where I must let go, give generously, and step after you. Give me courage to obey quickly and trust your promise of lasting reward. Help me follow you today, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I Want to Follow
