Leap of Faith Weekly Prayer
10,000 Reasons, 1500 Pieces, One Vision
Stewardship Prayer
Loving God, I come to you in thanksgiving, knowing that all I am and all that I have is a gift from you. During this month of study and prayer, help me to see with Your greater vision. Help me to understand the 10,000 reasons for our Church to move forward in ministry and mission to our community. By Your Spirit, grant me such faith to believe that You are at work in our church family and that You will work through all of us to touch the lives both inside of our church and outside in our community. Grant me today the wisdom and insight to understand your will for me and what I may do to bless Your name in my own life. I offer my gifts of time, talent and possessions to you as a true act of faith, to reflect my love for you and my neighbor. Help me to reach out to others as you, my God, have reached out to me. Amen.
The Word
Matthew 6:19-24
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
“No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
