Prayer based on Luke 19:8. Themes: Generosity, Repentance, Restitution.
Dear Lord, like Zacchaeus, I stand before you today and offer half of my goods to the poor. I pray that you guide me to use my resources wisely and generously to help those in need. If I have wronged anyone, I ask for your forgiveness and the courage to make things right by restoring four times as much. Help me to be a faithful steward of all that you have given me and to live a life that honors you. Amen.
