Father, I pray for (name one or more) and
others in my circle of family and friends
to be generous people…

May their generosity begin with You as they give You their
tithes and offerings, believing Your promise that as they do,
You will throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out
so much blessing that they’ll not have room enough for it.
(Malachi 3:8-10)

Help them grow in the grace of giving, giving to others
as much as they are able, willing to give even beyond their
ability because they trust in You and have given themselves
to You according to Your will. May they be generous, always
willing to hear the cry of the poor and willing to share.
(2 Corinthians 8:7b; Romans 12:6, 8b; 2 Corinthians 8:2-5;
Proverbs 21:13; 22:9; 1 Timothy 6:18)

May they sow generously and reap generously–pressed down,
shaken together, and running over! Help them be cheerful
givers to those in Christian service, and then supply all their
needs from Your riches in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 9:6;
Luke 6:38; Philippians 4:15-19)

Help them to give beyond their means.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
