The servant who had been given five talents

The servant who had been given two talents

The servant who had kept his money hidden

Work with what you have so it produces more good

Keep it untouched until you can guarantee success

Focus mainly on proving you were given more than others

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and I need your mercy. I turn from my sin and from living as if my life were my own. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as Lord and ask you to receive me, forgive me, and lead me. Put my life in your care, and teach me to follow you. Amen.

Entrust My Life to You

Lord, awaken your Church to be faithful with what you have placed in our care. Forgive our buried gifts, our hesitation, and our comparison with others. Make us diligent, honest, and fruitful, so that what you entrust to us is used well for your glory, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your Church to Be Faithful

Pray by naming one responsibility, gift, or resource God has put in your hands. Thank him for trusting you with it, and ask for wisdom to use it well today.

Thank Him for What He Entrusted

Bring these to God: places where you have let gifts sit unused; fear of failing; comparison with other people; a desire to become more faithful in small things.

Where I Have Been Passive

Pray for parents, teachers, managers, pastors, volunteers, and hidden servants who carry responsibility, that they would be steady, honest, and fruitful in what has been placed in their care.

For Steady Hands and Faithful Leaders

Father, you have placed things in my care. Please give me wisdom, diligence, and courage to use them well. Keep me from hiding what you entrusted to me, and help me bring you good fruit from a faithful life, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Me Fruitful With What You Give
