A Personal Stewardship Prayer

Loving God,

    I come to you in thanksgiving,
        knowing that all that I am and all that I have
            is a gift from you.

    In faith and love,
        help me to do your will. 

    I am listening, Lord. 
        Speak your words into the depth of my soul, 
            that I may hear you clearly. 

    I offer you this day all the facets of my life 
        whether it be at home, at school or at work. 
    Help me to be patient, to be merciful, 
        to be generous, to be grateful and to be holy. 

    Grant me the wisdom and insight 
        to understand your will for me 
            and the fervor to carry out my good intentions. 

    I offer my gifts of time, talent and possessions to you 
        as a true act of faith, 
            to reflect my love for you and my neighbor. 
                Help me to reach out to others 
                    as you have reached out to me.
                    Amen
