Today's service has three prayer components. Please refer to the sections below to help guide you through each time of prayer.

1. Personal Prayer

• Ask the Lord to reveal to you what your giving practices reveal about the health of your heart?
• Take some time to reflect on root issues that may cause you not to be generous. (Fear, greed, what is mine is mine, old patterns, pride, …)
• Renounce any idols that prevent you from surrendering your treasures.
• Pray for the church for wide spread generosity with treasures.
• Acknowledge where God has grown you in this area.

2. Responsive Reading Prayer

Lord, I come to You realizing that I am a steward of what You have entrusted to me. I seek to be free from bondage and idolatry in this area of financial stewardship. On this day, I declare that the financial resources You have put in my hands  are for me to steward in a way that is in keeping with Your heart and priorities. I ask for strength to be free in this area, for Your truth to guide me and for Your Holy Spirit to empower me.  God, may You advance Your Gospel Vision as I pay and pray it forward! Amen!

3. Prayer for Bethel House, Constance Lake, and the refugee family (Pause the recording to give yourself time to pray.)
