Stewardship Prayer
Lord and Creator,
You are the source of wisdom
and grace,
the author of human freedom
and creativity.
We thank you for these gifts,
and ask that you teach us
to be good stewards of
our creative spirits.
Show us how to quiet ourselves,
and to learn
the art of re-creation, reflection
and relaxation
so that we might recharge
and refill ourselves
for the work you have
planned for us.
Help us never to be too busy
to pause and realize
your gracious presence all around us:
in nature, in other people,
in ourselves.
Slow us down, Lord,
and teach us to be
stewards of our time of recreation.
Amen.
