Prayer for September 1-7, 2013
Sermon Text: Luke 14:1, 7-14
That your
generosity will generate generosity in us
God of all people, we rejoice in your faithful provision for
us. We delight in the good food and
drink that You provide. We thank You for
the opportunity to share our table with family and friends.
Enable us to open our tables more widely to
strangers and those who are in need.
Keep us from turning hospitality into a competition for honor, or into a
way of making other people feel obligated to us.
Enable us to be
gracious hosts and grateful guests who accept all things as a gift of your
generosity.
May your
generosity, which we can never hope to repay, generate generosity of heart and
action for which we expect nothing in return.
Amen.
