Generosity Day: Prayer For Paying Bills

Do you pray to be more generous?

Douglas McKelvey wrote Every Moment Holy. Here are parts of his prayer for paying bills: “O God who provides all things necessary for our lives, there’s little in this life that will so starkly reveal our insecurities and our struggle to trust your tender care as will the state of our hearts when we consider the state of our finances. We can slip so easily into the downward spiral of believing that simply having more of it would guarantee our security. Guard our hearts against that lie, then teach us what it would mean to begin to live more generously towards those whose needs are greater than our own. For we have you, and in having you we have all things. Amen.”
