A Stewardship Prayer

Almighty and ever-faithful God,
I gratefully acknowledge Your goodness to me and humbly recognize the many ways you have blessed my life. Your mercy and kindness turn my thoughts to gratitude. Please give me the grace I need to respond to your gifts by responsibly caring for them and returning them to You with increase. Help me to be a trustworthy steward. It is my fervent hope that whatever sacrifices I am able to offer, You will bring them to fulfillment. I make this prayer through your Son, Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with You in communion with the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
