Stewardship Prayers

Three Examples

 

New Version (Spring, 2003):

 

Creator God,

 

At Baptism, we accepted the call to follow Jesus.

Be with us as we move along on

our faith journey.

Send us your Holy Spirit,

that we might have wisdom

for the journey.

Help us to develop and share

our gifts as good stewards,

that we may use them in love and service in your Kingdom.

 

We ask this through Christ,

our Lord.

 

Amen.

 

 

Original Version (A):

Creator God,

 

Life is your gift to me.

Through Baptism,
you invite me to share the gift of my life
in service to others.

Be with me
as I choose each day
to show your Presence in our world.

Give me the courage and generosity
to respond to your love, to your call.

I pray especially for those
who serve you in ministry
throughout the parishes of Long Island.

May we bring the Good News
to  those in need.

Keep us close to you.

Open the minds and hearts
of many others
-- men, women, and young people --
that they may accept your challenge
to build the Kingdom in our parishes.

 

We ask this prayer through Christ
our Lord.

 

Amen.

Alternate Version (B):

Generous God,

I give thanks to you for the gifts you have given me -

          my life, my family, my friends - time, talents, and material possessions.  
All that I have comes from you.  
Help me to remember this and rejoice in your goodness.

Walk with me, my God.
Help me on my spiritual journey, so that I may

          constantly renew my relationship with you

          and all the good people in

          our parish and throughout Long Island.

Renew in me your Spirit.
Give me the strength and courage

          to become a better follower of Jesus, to be a disciple.
Help me hear the call to "Come, Follow Me."

I give glory to you, my God, as I make stewardship a way of life.

 

Amen.
