O God,
Open my heart to your words of comfort and reassurance.
Help me to know that you hold fast to those who lack resources.
Help me to trust that you will fill those who are hungry.
Help me rest in your promise that sorrow is not forever.
Teach me to rely on your love rather than my resources.
Teach me to realize that opportunity and joy may be fleeting.
Teach me your priorities, your vision, your hopes for the world and for me.
Amen.
