Loving Lord, you called man to labor so as to live and to prosper through hard work. In an age where the economy is unstable, greed is insurmountable and poverty increasing, provide O Lord for your people, that they may meet their own needs through employment and work oppurtunities, that they may grow in dignity and esteem. Give hope to the hapless, strengthen the week and comfort the afflicted. Have pity on struggling families, on people that have lost their self worth, on the poor, on our pooe kids who are the future of this world. Give all people the right to live in dignity, to be valued and to lead a comfortbale life pleasing to you. For you O Lord are the giver of all good things, and we live under the wing of your providence. Do not reject, nor despise a contrite heart, but come to the help of them that place their complete faith and trust in you. Inspire the For regardless of all outcomes, we know that you are our merciful Father who sees all things who does not abandon his children.
