DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

To Acknowledge Your Generosity (Part 1)

Generous Father,
There is no better example than yours when it comes to demonstrating generosity. I don’t know this only because it’s how you reveal yourself in the Bible; I know it also from personal experience. When I consider the size and scale of all that you provide me with physically, it is clear that you are no miser! Closets that are hardly large enough to hold all of our clothes, multiple fridges and/or freezers, packed pantries, and garages or extra rooms that store away bins upon bins of belongings all serve as testaments of your generosity.

When it comes to shopping for everything we need (to say nothing of what we want!), there are countless brick and mortar stores, matched by a myriad of online stores. We know the frustration of indecision when it comes to having so many options for eating out (or having it delivered right to our door and eating in!). You are unbelievably generous, Lord, and I ask that you never allow me to take your generosity for granted. And, I also ask that you equip me with the wisdom to rightly use and manage all that you abundantly provide.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For a Heart Filled with Genuine, Joyful Thanks

Giving God,
I could never keep a record of the countless blessings – physical and spiritual – that you have generously heaped on me over the course of my life, but I can thank you for them. So thank you, for giving me so much more than I deserve or could ever have hoped for. Even as I thank you, though, I realize how inadequate my own gratitude is, and how often it lacks a joyful heart behind it. Therefore, thank you for viewing even my insufficient gratitude as an acceptable expression of thanks, by virtue of my faith, which is itself your gift to me – yet another reminder of how wonderfully blessed I am! As I wake up each morning, lead me to greet the day with gratitude – real, genuine, joyful gratitude – so that I become even more mindful of your abundant blessings over the course of each and every day. Thank you!

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
