For Faithfulness in the Use of this World's Goods
Almighty God, whose loving hand has given me all that I possess; Grant me grace that I may honor you with my substance, and remembering the account which I must one day give, may be a faithful steward of your bounty; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Now let me go forth praising you, O Lord, with all my heart, telling of all your wonders, with my words and in my actions. I will be glad and rejoice in you this day. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. Amen.

Dear Lord, there are times in my life when I seem to be getting no where, when I am forced to mark time. Help me to learn the hard lesson of patience, and to put my trust in You. ... Help me to use these times wisely, to sort out my relationship with You, and to gain a new perspective, that I may set more realistic goals, which will be pleasing to You. Give me patience to await Your timing. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Dear heavenly Father, please cleanse me from all error and renew my mind. I desire to know the truth even if it means correction and embarrassment for me. Change my heart and thoughts to be Your thoughts and heart. Give me a teachable spirit. Take my desires and dreams and give me Yours. Cleanse me from all that offends You. Create within me a clean heart, O Lord. Give me eyes to see things the way You see them and keep me from deception. Thank You for the gift of discernment so that I do not fall into the devils traps. May You also do this for all of my brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen.
