PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 21: FRIDAY
Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
Generous Giver, we turn to You for every
need. We turn away from our own imagined self-sufficiency. We turn away from
cynicism and despair. We turn away from our assumptions that some must go hungry
in order for others to be fed. We turn to You because we have learned that You
are a faithful provider of all that we truly need.
Help us to be satisfied with what we
receive of your generosity without clawing and clutching for more as though we
could not count upon your continued care. Help us to stop stockpiling many
things that nurture neither our body nor our spirit.
Liberate us from our anxiety. Liberate us
from our vivid imagination about the suffering we might experience if we are not
adequately supplied. Enable us to share generously with our neighbors in joyful
friendship and genuine care.
Generous Giver, we turn to You. You and
your gifts are enough for us. Amen.
