For Hunger for God
Isaiah 55:1-3 - Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live.

Pray: Dear Jesus, I pray for conversations that will lead to salvations at work. Give me divine appointments with people today. I will use the opportunities that You bring me to speak out Your name. Let people at work be "cut to the heart" just like in the book of Acts. In Jesus' name, Amen.

For Generosity
