WISE STEWARDS: LENTEN PRAYERS 2017

Day 4 – Saturday
Psalm 19

     Creative God, we rejoice in You and in your magnificent work of creation. Enable us to read your universe as a testimony to your glory and wisdom. May our observations enhance our delight in You.
     Wise God, we rejoice in your word. Enable us to meditate on it and allow it to shape our minds by your values. Enable us to truly see that attentiveness and obedience to your word is more enriching than all of the money and goods that we may amass. Enable us to see that our deepest security comes not from wealth, but from wise trust in your word. As we allow your word to shape our lives, bend our lives away from hoarding and investing our energy in protecting our things. Move us more deeply into lives of generous sharing and a commitment to justice that tries to assure that each of our neighbors and every person in the world has adequate resources for fruitful and joyful living. 
     Your creation and your commands testify to your glory and wisdom. Let our lives do so as well. Amen.
