Offering Prayer: The Air We Breathe


Here’s an offering prayer from Carol Penner’s Leading in Worship website.

Prayer of Dedication

We have the means to give,
we have the reason to give,
and there are many waiting for us to give.
Yet often, our hands hold back,
and we hoard what we have for ourselves.

God of grace,
help us live and give in your kingdom of love,
where there are no enemies,
only brothers and sisters,
and kindness is the air we breathe.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
