A Stewardship Prayer for December

Lord,

As we journey through

this Advent season,

give us the wisdom to be

good stewards

of this time of grace, a time to be

more prayerful,

to listen more intently to Your Word;

a time to allow our faith to grow

and mature.

Show us how to give witness

to your Good News more fervently

among our families, friends

and those with whom we worship.

Help us be more aware

of those who are poor, lonely

or suffering;

and to serve them

as if we were serving You.

And fill our hearts with hope,

so that we may make straight

Your path

with confidence and zeal,

and prepare for the joy of

Your coming!

We pray this in Jesus’ name.

Amen
