Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I can be stingy and greedy. I give reluctantly and sometimes out of pressure. Forgive me. Teach me to be a cheerful giver, like your Father who gave the most precious gift of all – his Son and my savior, Jesus Christ. Help me live as we have been instructed in 2 Corinthians 9:7 “Each one must do just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Amen
