Stewardship Prayer
O Lord, giver of life and source of freedom, I know that all I have received is from Your hand. You call us to be stewards of Your abundance, the caretakers of all You have entrusted to us. Help us to always use Your gifts wisely and teach us to share them generously. We are called by name to be disciples of Jesus. To live each day in your presence. Send the Holy Spirit to work through us, bringing Your message to those we serve. Amen
