WISE STEWARDS: LENTEN PRAYERS 2017

Day 28 – Saturday
Matthew 6:1-4

     God of wisdom and insight, You know us better than we know ourselves. You know that we want to be recognized as good, wise, kind and generous people. And You know that we are easily drawn to do good works so that they will be seen and acknowledged by others.
     Forgive us when we act for the praise of others. Forgive us when we go out of our way to make sure that we are noticed. Forgive us for not trusting You enough to act solely for your purpose and praise.
     Rouse us to share with creative generosity the many resources You have given to us. Make sharing as natural as breathing for us. And help us to share without being overly conscious of the fact that we are doing something helpful or good. 
     Enable us to give ourselves in friendship and solidarity as we share our resources. We want You to be honored in all that we do, and we seek only the honor that You bestow in your own timing. Amen.
