One of my favorite prayers of praise to God is 1 Chronicles 29:10-13. This prayer of David was inspired by the generosity the leaders to the work of God. As the people in this passage saw their leaders give so “freely and wholeheartedly” (including David) they started to worship, which caused David to worship and speak this beautiful prayer.
A couple questions that arose for our team as we studied this passage:
- Do we lead our communities with this free and wholehearted generosity to the work of God?
- Are we drawn to worship God like this as we receive notification of the generosity of our partners in another donation, a meal served to students, a student mentored, or a campus prayed for?
How about for you? What does it look like for you to give freely and wholeheartedly to the work of God? As you see ministry through InterVarsity go forward through the generosity of so many would you join us in this circle of worship to God?
A prayer tip: prior to asking God for that which is on your heart read this section of scripture out loud 5-10 times, then speak prayers of worship to God in your own words, and after that bring your requests. I find that this helps me first to connect to who God is which significantly helps me as I bring him my requests.
