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.

Verse: Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
Luke 19:8

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to give to the poor and restore four times as much if they have wrongfully taken anything from anyone.
