Our purpose in life is to make a difference, to be a disciple of Christ. To do this, we must first examine our priorities. This means spending time in the Lord’s presence. Many times, prayer is forgotten as a priority. Good stewards begin a life of giving with prayer and reflection on the many blessings given them. Only after prayer can we consider what to do about all the gifts in our lives. A stewardship prayer we must always keep in mind, “Lord, what should I do with what you have given me?”

When we pray, we ask God what he wants from us and when we know, we can respond, giving back with increase. Stewardship of prayer is not just another activity to add to a busy schedule. Prayer is essential to a busy life and to a busy Christmas Season.
