Daily Prayer for August 1, 2010
Finding Healing and Hope within Financial Stresses
Our financial resources are great blessings, gifts to share in doing God’s work. But they also can be obstacles, burdening us, separating us from others, as in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man.
We pray for all who do not have enough to meet their basic needs, though the earth is filled with plenty. We pray for fair dealings between employers and employees, between buyers and sellers, between the developed and the developing nations. We pray that we may be inspired with the wisdom to use our resources well.
Prayer
Grant me, Lord, the spirit of good stewardship to share what I have with those in need. Let me cultivate a spirit of detachment toward the things of this world, that I may use them wisely and let go of them when they no longer sustain me. Let me recognize that all that I have comes from You, and that Your gifts are not to be squandered but put to good use, not hoarded by a few but shared by all. Be with those who do not have what they need; fill them with hope that You – and we – will sustain them. Amen.
