Prayer for November 22-28, 2020
Sermon Text: Matthew 25:31-46
Sermon Text: Matthew 25:31-46
That we may nurture our diverse neighbors for fruitful existence
God of all creation, we rejoice that You have entrusted us with stewardship of your vast and varied resources. But we rejoice, also, in the fact that You do not leave us on our own to depend solely upon our own wisdom for the best care and use of those resources.
Enable us to be bold and creative in utilizing the resources we have been entrusted with to care for our human neighbors, and our other creaturely neighbors, in ways that nourish and nurture all for fruitful existence.
Forgive us when we are afraid to use your resources in creative and risky ways. Forgive us when we overlook the needs of our neighbors while significant resources are hoarded or hidden away. Forgive us when we fail to use your resources to pursue your justice.
Let participation in your joy be a powerful motivator for thankful and generous faithfulness. Amen.
