40acts: Do Lent GenerouslySample

40acts: Do Lent Generously

DAY 2 OF 47

Pause

Jesus teaches that real treasure isn’t the stuff we keep. It’s the love we share. The things we own can remind us of happy times but they’re not meant to stay hidden. When we give or share what we have we help others feel joy and hope. God can turn sad moments into something good when we choose to give. Every time we share something special we show that we trust God to take care of us. What feels small to us can be a big gift to someone else and every act of giving shows God’s love in action.

Prayer:

Pray for wisdom to recognise the small areas of life where money could be used more purposefully.

Ask God to show you someone who could be blessed through what you’ve freed up.

Thank Him for the chance to serve one true Master and find joy in giving rather than having.

Act:

Hit cancel on a subscription that just sits there. Add the amount to a monthly gift to a charity or church.

About this Plan

40acts: Do Lent Generously

What if Lent was about more than just giving stuff up? This Bible plan is an adaptation of the full 40acts challenge. Our hope is that as you explore and practice biblical generosity in all areas of your life, you would experience its transformational impact. Each day contains a prompt for one act of generosity on that day's topic, with Sunday reflections summarising the theme of the acts that week.
