WISE STEWARDS: LENTEN PRAYERS 2017

Day 31 – Wednesday
1 Timothy 6:17-19

     God of all life, help us to “take hold of life that is truly life.” Help us hold fast to You. Help us to trust You for the provision of every need. Help us to live with gratitude and delight in your many gifts.
     Sometimes You seem distant or unavailable to us, but help us to discern that You are near and active in our lives. Help us to perceive and celebrate your enduring faithfulness.  
     Even though it often appears true to us, help us not to be deceived by the illusion that wealth provides true satisfaction and security. Help us to recognize that wealth is easily lost. Help us not to delude ourselves into believing that our efforts to procure wealth have made us superior, self-sufficient people. 
     You have created a world of abundant resources. Help us to assure that others have enough. Unleash our hearts, minds and hands for good and generous works that enhance the lives of others. Let our sharing incite others to trust in You more completely. Amen.
