We understand your concern, ###, about your offering being small due to your current job search and financial situation. Let's remember the words of Jesus in Luke 21:1-4 (WEB), "He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury. He also saw a certain poor widow putting in two small brass coins. He said, 'Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.'"
God values the heart and the sacrifice behind the offering, not the amount. It's important to remember that our offerings are not about the quantity, but about our heart's condition and our faithfulness to God. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 9:7 (WEB), "Let each one give, as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or necessarily, for God loves a cheerful giver."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother ###. Lord, we ask that You accept his offering, small as it may be in his eyes, but great in yours because of the heart behind it. We pray that You bless and multiply this offering, that it may be used to bless the poor and needy.
Lord Jesus, we also pray for ###'s job search. Guide him to the right opportunities and open the doors that You would have him walk through. We trust that You are faithful to provide for all of our needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Lastly, Lord, we pray that ### continues to grow in faith and trust in You. Remind him daily of Your love and care for him. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
###, we encourage you to continue being faithful with your offerings, even as you seek God's will for your career. Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we are saved (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). Keep trusting in Him.
