Sermon Text: Matthew 5:1-12
That we will not grasp for blessing as though You are reluctant to bless
God of many blessings, we rejoice that being blessed is not dependent upon self-sufficiency and pride, on holding abundant wealth, on being free of grief and suffering, or on asserting our will in the struggle for power.
We rejoice, that in your wisdom, blessing commonly attends mercy, generosity and justice, truthful relationships, and the work of reconciliation.
Enable us to be people of humility, mercy, generosity, justice, truth, and forgiveness. Help us not to grasp for blessing as though You were reluctant to bless. Help us not to live grimly, but with abundant thanksgiving and joy.
You have blessed us in more ways than we can count. Let endless praise flow from our hearts and lips. Amen.
