Prayer for Church Tithes and Offering
Heavenly Father, Almighty and Everlasting God,
We come before You today with hearts full of gratitude, lifting up our tithes and offerings as an act of worship and obedience to You. You are the source of all that we have, the giver of every good and perfect gift. Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You, and we acknowledge that we are merely stewards of the blessings You have entrusted to us.
Lord, we thank You for the provision You have poured into our lives—our jobs, our businesses, our families, and every resource that sustains us. We recognize that without You, we have nothing, and without Your grace, we would not be able to give. Thank You for the strength to work, the wisdom to manage, and the opportunities to prosper.
Father, as we bring our tithes—the first fruits of our labor—we do so in obedience to Your Word, knowing that You have commanded us to honor You with the first and the best of what we receive. Your Word in Malachi 3:10 tells us to bring the whole tithe into the storehouse so that there may be food in Your house, and You promise to open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings upon us that we will not have room enough to receive. Lord, we stand on this promise today.
We also bring our offerings, given freely and cheerfully from hearts that desire to see Your kingdom advance. Your Word tells us that You love a cheerful giver, and we give not out of obligation but out of love, gratitude, and faith in Your provision. May these offerings be used for the work of Your church—to spread the gospel, to support missions, to feed the hungry, to clothe the needy, and to be a light in the darkness.
Father, we pray for wisdom and integrity for those who oversee the finances of the church. May they be good stewards of these resources, using them to glorify You and to further Your kingdom. Let every dollar, every cent, be used according to Your divine purpose, bringing transformation to lives, communities, and nations.
Lord, we ask for Your blessing upon every giver today. Your Word declares that when we give, it shall be given back to us—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. We pray for financial breakthroughs, for open doors, for promotions, for debt cancellations, and for supernatural provision for those who trust in You. May no one lack, may no one struggle, and may no one be in want, for You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.
For those who desire to give but are unable, Lord, we pray for Your divine intervention in their finances. Provide for them, Lord, and make a way where there seems to be no way. Open doors of employment, bless their businesses, and increase their income so that they, too, may experience the joy of giving and the blessings that come with it.
Above all, Lord, may our giving be an act of worship that pleases You. May it be a reflection of our trust in You, our love for You, and our commitment to Your work. Let our hearts always be generous, knowing that we can never outgive You.
We dedicate these tithes and offerings to You, Lord. Multiply them, bless them, and use them for Your glory. Let them be a seed that brings forth a great harvest in the lives of many.
We pray all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
