Sermon Text: Genesis 25:19-34
That we will practice confident generosity as we trust in You
God, our Provider, we rejoice in the consistency of your provision for us. You have met all of our needs and You have given us one blessing after another. You have shown yourself trustworthy in all things, and You have enabled us to trust in You.
Forgive us when we lose sight of your ample provision and act as though we are in competition with each other, or in competition with our scattered sisters and brothers in faith. Help us see clearly that you have created enough for all of us. Help us open our hands to share with each other, so that all enjoy the sufficiency of your provision.
Help us keep perspective even in times of deprivation or difficulty. Do not let us make rash decisions, about momentary needs, that threaten our full participation in your eternal realm. Help us remember that You are with us, and that You will provide for us even as we open our hearts and hands to our brothers and sisters in their need. Enable us to live without anxiety before You. Amen.
