WISE STEWARDS: LENTEN PRAYERS 2017
Day 11 – Monday
Proverbs
18:11
O God--You who would be our Shield and
Fortress--forgive us for convincing ourselves that our accumulated resources
provide us enduring security. Forgive us for trusting in our wealth instead of
in You. Forgive us for allowing our wealth to create barriers that prevent us
from knowing You deeply and keep us from knowing our neighbors and sharing your
gifts with gladness. Forgive us for constantly grasping for what we really do
not need.
Enable us to set our hearts on You. Enable
us to be content with the daily gifts by which You sustain us. Enable us to
imagine the world in ways that are not based in fear, competition, suspicion or
anxiety about scarcity. Enable us to perceive the abundance You have created
and that You are able to generate and sustain in ways that exceed our
comprehension. Help us not to expect or demand more than our share, but enable
us to share with generosity that is energized by your generosity, so that all
may have enough. Amen.
