(the first day of Lent)
1 CHRONICLES 29:14 (NLT)
But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us!
MATTHEW 10:8 (NLT)
Give as freely as you have received!
SUMMARY SENTENCE
In God's economy, generosity breeds generosity.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
DAILY FODDER
How has God set you up to become a generous person?
PRAYER
Gracious God, I have nothing that can't be traced back to your generous hand. And while I like the idea of generosity I've yet to really figure out how to implement your approach to it. I need to be freed from the false notion of scarcity and tap into your abundance. I want to give as freely as I've been given to. Amen.

Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
