A Prayer For This Week
A Stewardship Prayer
Gracious God, abundant are the blessings you have freely and joyously given us. We are grateful for the opportunities you provide for living generous and compassionate lives of love, prayer, and service. Help us now and always to offer freely and joyously to you, O God, our gifts of time, talent, and treasure.
Amen.
Rev. Bill Hibbert
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church
Rapid City, South Dakota
For Wise Use of Talents
Almighty God, you have blessed each of us with unique gifts, and have called us into specific occupations, relationships, and activities using those gifts.
Enable us to use our talents to witness to our faith in you and to communicate your love to the people we meet each day. Empower us to be ministers of reconciliation, love, hope, and justice. Keep us steadfast in our commitment to serve actively in your name.
Amen.
