And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God…
The scripture for today’s prayer:
Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. 12 So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem[f] will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.
13 As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ. 14 And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you. 15 Thank God for this gift[g] too wonderful for words!
2 Corinthians 9:11-15 New Living Translations (NLT)
Prayer: Almighty Father, what a great gift it is that you have given, the opportunity to give to others in need as you provide the means, and the opportunity to bring honor and glory back to you and your Son, Jesus Christ our Savior. As I go about my day today, I will look for opportunities to be a cheerful giver. Amen.
