Gospel Reading: Matthew 6:1-6
Gospel Reading: Matthew 6:1-6
God our Maker, Redeemer, and Sustainer, we rejoice in You! We commit ourselves to your service and pledge our loyalty to You for as long as You sustain us. Enable us to act in faithfulness without requiring that there be an audience to observe our action. Do not let us shy away from faithful action when it must be done in public, but keep us from placing the adulation of others above the reward that we may receive from You in the timing and measure of your choosing.
Enable us to grow skilled in acting with love for our neighbors even as we grow more deeply attuned to your Guiding Spirit. Keep us from being overly self-conscious about either our acts of generosity or our practice of prayer.
You have made us in your image. May we reflect your wise and generous love into the world You love. Help us each day. We pray in the name of the One who fully embodied your image in our presence. Amen.
Amen
