Prayer
Jesus taught us to approach God boldly, knowing He loves to give good gifts to His children (Matthew 7:11).
Father, You are the source of every good thing in my life. Thank You for choosing to pour out Your favor even when I don't deserve it. I confess I sometimes hoard Your goodness instead of sharing it. Open my eyes to see where You want me to be a channel of Your grace today. Help me live as someone who's been truly blessed—not just collecting gifts, but giving them away. In Jesus' name, Amen.
