Deuteronomy 11-15
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
Lord, I pray that You would help me to be a giving person. I pray that money or positions would never be the driving force behind anything I do. Whether You desire me to be someone of substantial or humble means, I pray that the cry of my heart would never be to keep what I have only for myself. I pray that the things that I would give would be for Thee and would be blessed.
