57

Almighty God, I give thanks for all that I have and all that I am.

Most of all I give thanks for the great gift of your Son, Jesus.

I pray that I may be a good steward – that I will follow faithfully, serve joyfully, give generously, live responsibly and possess sensibly.

In gratitude for the abundant gifts you have so graciously given to me; I return to you the first fruits of these gifts, through acts of service and by generously sharing all that you have entrusted to me.

Heavenly Father, by your Holy Spirit – Give me knowledge and understanding, help me to be a gift to others in your name.

I make this prayer through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
