Prayer for the Offering
(inspired by 2
Thessalonians 2: 1-5, 13-17)
O
God our Father,
who
through our Lord Jesus Christ has loved us
and
through grace has given us eternal comfort and good hope,
make
our hearts strong for the work which lies ahead.
Indeed,
help us to “not be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed,”
and
to “stand firm and hold fast”
as
we cooperate with your Spirit in the holy task of bearing fruit.
These
offerings are part of your harvest.
Help
us to put them to good use. Amen.
