BUDGETING RESOURCE

A Generosity-Centered Budget Worksheet

“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21

This worksheet is designed to help you build a simple, honest budget that puts generosity first, not last. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s alignment. Take your time, pray through each section, and let this be a tool the Spirit uses to shape your heart.

PART 1: SET THE POSTURE

Before you touch any numbers, pause and reflect.

Answer briefly:

What has God given me to steward right now?
When I think about giving, what emotions surface (joy, fear, resistance, excitement)?
What kind of person do I want to become through my finances?

Generosity is not about what you have—it’s about who you trust.

PART 2: NAME YOUR INCOME

Write down your average monthly income (after taxes).
