That none will be in need

 

Acts 4:32–35 

prayer for ourselves and the world 

Holy One, we bring our prayer to you,

for ourselves and for the world; or

for ourselves as agents for change in the world. 

We pray that we may be of one heart,

committed to you and your Way of Love. 

Where one has plenty and another

is in need, may we give and receive

with generosity and grace,

that all may have enough. 

May we each, in this priesthood

of all believers, tell the story

of your return to life,

in our living, our words, our love. 

Holy One, we bring our prayer

to you, that none will be in need,

that none will be bound by greed,

that all may have enough – 

that all may have enough, to live,

to truly, fully, live! 

Amen.
