To Manage Our Finances Well
Generous Lord,
All we have that is good comes from you. You give generously and freely, asking only that we manage well what you have entrusted to us. Help us to do that.
Open our eyes to see the wisdom of having a budget, and grant us the discipline to take the necessary steps to either establish one or continue maintaining the one we have. Such a practice not only helps us see more clearly how richly you bless us, but also how we can better direct our finances for the good of your kingdom and our neighbor. Where we spend frivolously, compel us to rein in our spending. Where we are miserly, soften our hearts toward giving and generosity. Let us experience the joy that accompanies managing your financial blessings well.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
