WISE STEWARDS: LENTEN PRAYERS 2017

Day 9 – Friday
Proverbs 11:25, Mark 10:17-31 (especially verses 28-31)

     Gracious God, we rejoice in your daily provision. We rejoice that You make us prosperous. But help us not to define prosperity solely in terms of the accumulation of material wealth.  
     Enable us to define our wealth in terms of relationships of mutuality with diverse neighbors, near and far, and with meaningful work that provides adequately for our true needs while giving us opportunities to nourish and heal your people and your creation. 
     We rejoice in the many ways that You have refreshed our souls. Enable us to refresh the lives of others and to know the refreshment of seeing and acting beyond our own desires and needs. As we act in gratitude, with generosity, may many look to You who are the Most Generous One of all. Amen.
