Prayer for August 4-10, 2013
Sermon Text: Luke 12:13-21
hat we will not
give in to covetousness and greed
Generous God, how easy it is for us to succumb to
covetousness and greed. How easy it is
to compare what we have with what others have and concluded that we have gotten
a raw deal.
Root out greed and
covetousness from our lives. Fill us
with joy in your presence. Enable us to
live with gratitude – content with your ample provision for our daily needs.
Open our hearts to
express your generosity. In our gratitude,
enable us to be generous with our neighbors.
Enable us to be generous, especially, with those whose needs are unmet,
those who are truly victimized by unjust practices.
Let us not be
lured into folly by wealth, but let us overflow with love and generosity as we
depend upon You. Amen.
