WISE STEWARDS: LENTEN PRAYERS 2017
Day 8 – Thursday
Proverbs
11:4; Matthew 6:19-21
Generous God, we praise You for your many
wonderful gifts! We praise You for this world of abundance! We rejoice in the
opportunity to serve and know You. We rejoice that You have surrounded us by
sisters and brothers who journey with us and help us find strength in you.
Help us to use the gifts You give us with
wisdom. Help us not to hoard money and other resources as though they were
permanent possessions, but open our hearts to share gladly with many people, so
that they too may rejoice in your generous provision.
Help us to prioritize right relationships
with You and with our many neighbors over the accumulation of money and other
things. Do not allow us to deceive ourselves into believing that wealth will
solve all of our problems, or that it can serve as our ultimate source of
security.
We know that all of our wealth is
meaningless if our lives are not fully rooted in yours and if we do not
practice the righteousness in which You instruct us. Fill our lives with
meaning as we follow your guidance. Amen.
