The Beattitudes
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and
thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of
God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted
for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Gospel of Matthew 5:3-10
The Generosity Prayer
Heavenly Father,
You are the giver of all life. You are the giver of every good and perfect gift. In you there is complete supply. I adore you, for you are the King of Kings, yet you see me, and know me, and fill me with your love, your presence, your joy, and your graciousness. You have poured out your blessings upon me. There is none like you.
Lord I confess that I have not always been the best steward of your gifts. Forgive me and help me to be more generous. I sometimes worry about my future instead of seeking first your kingdom. Help me to trust in you for my provision.
When I step back to get perspective, I remember your faithfulness. I am reminded of how you provided for the Israelites in the wilderness. You provided for prophet Elijah when he felt alone and abandoned. You have provided for me in the same way. You have never forsaken me. You have never abandoned me. Thank you for providing for my needs.
Thank you for blessing me with a home and family. Thank you for trusting me with talents and treasures that I can use to honor you.
Help me to be a better steward of your gifts. Grow in me a heart of generosity. Help me to see the poor as image bearers of Christ (Matthew 25:40). Help me to be more charitable and open handed to those in need.
In the name of Jesus I pray.
Amen.
