Lord Teach Me to Pray Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread Day 2

Praying with Another’s Words

For the beauty of the earth, For the glory of the skies

For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies;

Lord of all, to thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise

 

For thyself, best Gift Divine To the world so freely given,

For that great, great love of thine Peace on earth and joy in heaven

Lord of all to thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise


Heavenly Father, “you open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. I can’t take in all the blessings and in my life.  I have all I need and so much more!   Most importantly you have showered me with love in giving me all I need for my soul in this life and the life to come- Jesus!  Lord create in me a thankful heart and make me a good steward of all you have given me.  As I relate to the family and friends you have put in my life, help me to remember that sharing Jesus with them is the best way I can care for them.


This world is such a materialist one.  I am deluged daily with images of things, creating a need.  I ask for the gift of contentment; to not fall into the trap of wanting more and more.  I pray for a generous heart.  I want to share what you have given me with others.  Direct my giving Lord so that it is in line with your heart and intentions.
