Lenten Challenge
WHAT iS THE CHALLENGE?
Use the weekly scripture and prayer on the back of this card to reflect and consider increasing your giving by 1% for 6 weeks. Use the chart below to determine what 1% would be each week. Each day jot a few words to answer these:
What do I hear the scripture saying today?
What insights have I gained about worshiping God? Gratitude? Giving?
How difficult has this challenge been for me? How rewarding?
Daily prayer
Dear God, thank you for creating me with a willingness to give to you and others. Out of my fear I am reluctant to give as much as I know would truly honor you. Forgive me for my lack of trust that you will provide for me as I am faithful. Give me courage to accept the Lenten Challenge and to be open to the blessings you will share when I am generous in your name. AMEN
