Prayer based on Acts 4:37. Themes: Sacrifice, Generosity, Community

Dear Lord,

Help me to have the courage and faith to let go of the things that hold me back from fully following you. May I be willing to sell what I have and give to those in need, just as the early believers did.

May my heart be filled with generosity and a desire to serve others, and may I always be willing to lay my resources at your feet, trusting that you will use them for your glory.

Thank you for the example of those who have gone before us, and for the opportunity to be a part of your kingdom work.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
