Pray for wisdom, contentment and generosity

These prayer prompters were adapted from the following blog: http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2011/07/17/generous-and-content-with-our-money/

Lord,
Remind me over and over again of the truth in Proverbs 4:7 "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight."  -  Seek Financial Wisdom (check out Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace)

Remind me over and over again of the truth in Hebrews 13:5 "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.'" - Pursue Contentment (1 Timothy 6:6-10)

Remind me over and over again of the truth in Psalm 37:21 "The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives" - Be Generous (1 Timothy 6:17-19)

God, you have provided all that we will ever need (Rom. 8:32). 
You also care for grass (Matt. 6:28-30) and birds (Matt. 10:29),
so "we can be content with or without stuff." 

You have been "infinitely generous with us in Christ so, rich or poor, we can be joyfully generous in a way that makes our neighbors scratch their heads and say, 'Who are these people?'"
