God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.
Creator God, here is a question I ask of you...
When two paths cross and neither will yield, what can we do?
When things aren’t fair, and people don’t share, what can we do?
When choices are hard and peace can’t be found, what can we do?
Creator God, here is a blessing I ask of you...
Show us a third, and better, path that is good for us all.
Help us speak up for those who depend on us, as we depend on you.
Cause us to remember the choice Christ made for us...for life...for peace.
With your Spirit to empower us, Lord, we will act in your stead; we will remember you. Amen.
Prayer Phrase
“Do good…share what you have” (Hebrews 13:16).
Enough to Share
Take a moment to notice what you are holding onto—perhaps a worry, a resource, or a desire for more. Take a breath and release it. Ask yourself, “Where am I being invited to trust that there is enough?” Think of one way you can share what you have today—your time, your gifts, your attention, or your resources. As you breathe in, say, “There is enough.” As you breathe out, “If I share.” Pray, “May my trust become generosity, and may my generosity create abundance for the welfare of all.”
