Prayer:
Gracious and Generous God,
You are the giver of every good gift —
the breath in our lungs,
the light that guides our steps,
the love that fills our hearts.
You pour out blessings not for us to keep,
but to share, to multiply, to make holy through giving.
For every talent, every kindness, every grace You plant within us,
You call us to respond not with possession, but with offering.
Teach us, Lord,
to give as You give — freely, joyfully, completely.
Let our lives become gifts in return,
poured out in service, compassion, and love.
May we never forget that the greatest gift we can offer
is the gift of ourselves —
our time, our strength, our hearts,
given back to You in the way we love Your people.
Through Christ, the perfect gift of love, we pray.
Amen
