Father Lord,
please reign over every decision that I make. May I feel Your Presence and the quickening of Your Holy Spirit as I walk through the course of each day, for every choice bears many consequences. Help me to control the spending of the resources You give me. May each transaction not be selfishly squandered that I may lavishly bless those who are less fortunate than I, or that I may more faithfully contribute to Your activities – ministries within my church or around the world. I want desperately to be a wise steward.
As I confront the issue of how to spend the moments of each day may I be quick to remember that my time here is very brief, and once spent, a minute can never be recaptured and relived. May I be faithfully moved to invest in my experience with You and the people around me so that my life is not wasted on that which is worthless.
No material obsession can satisfy my greatest human need nor can it be carried with me when I die. May I see every aspect of my life as a ministry opportunity, and so guide my decisions according to Your design and desire for my life. May my choices honor and bless You, my Father, my Savior, my Friend...
