Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to you today, heart open, asking you to cultivate within me a spirit of charity and generosity. Guide me as I navigate through life and teach me how to serve others with kindness and love. Let every act of giving I partake in be a direct reflection of your endless love and mercy.
Help me, Lord, to set aside selfish desires and to instead focus on the needs of those around me. Let my hands be an extension of your providence, reaching out to those in need.
Feautre my heart, deepen my understanding and increase my sensitivity towards those who are hurting, struggling, or less fortunate. Enable me to share not only my material possessions, but also my time, my empathy, and my love.
Ultimately, guide me, Lord, to reflect the image of Christ, who gave Himself selflessly for us. May my life honor and glorify you through acts of charity and generosity. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
