A Steward's Prayer

Thank you for placing your 

Divine dream within my heart,

Thank you for revealing to me
 
that all I am and have are gifts from you

And that these gifts from you, Lord, 

are meant to be shared.

Thank you for teaching me to be generous 

as you have been generous with me.

Show me the joys of giving. 

Help me understand that others, perhaps
 
unknown to me, depend on me for help.

Remind me that my world, my parish, 

needs stewards to share your Word,

heal wounds, and to be loved, 

Make me a gift to others in your name.

Amen.
