Dear Father, righteous and gracious God,

Create in me a holy readiness to give of that which you have given
me, never as an exaction but as a willing gift.

Help me to sow bountifully so that I shall reap bountifully. Let
me make up my mind about what to give.

Then let my giving be cheerful, not with reluctance or under
compulsion.

And why shouldn't I give, since you give to me without
reservation. You are able to provide me with every blessing in
abundance, and you will provide so that I will always have enough
for myself and some to give away.

In the name of Jesus Christ, the truly generous Savior of mankind,
I raise these petitions to you. Amen.
