Stewardship Prayer
Loving and merciful God,
You are the Lord of
new beginnings.
You sent us Your Son so that we
may begin anew
and enjoy new life in Your Spirit.
We ask you to bless this new year,
to guide and direct our plans,
and to show us how to find the
resources necessary
to carry out these plans.
Give us the wisdom to take
advantage of opportunities
we may have to help and
serve others,
to bring peace to the hearts of
those who are troubled,
and hope to those who suffer.
Help us approach this new year
as good stewards of your
abundant gifts,
with an awareness of your
daily presence,
and the obedient spirit we need to
be your faithful servants.
We ask this in Jesus’ name.
Amen
