A Prayer for Fairer Sharing
Based on Proverbs 13:23
Lord God,
In the fields of the poor
Even when abundant fruits ripen,
Injustice sweeps them away,
And families hunger.
Help us to share
The fruits of your bounty
So that all your family may benefit
From your gracious gifts. Amen
A prayer that fits in well with the theme of ‘Choose the World You Want’

Lord Jesus,
You revealed your Kingdom in parables
That spoke of ordinary things —
Yeast in a loaf of bread,
A woman sweeping her home.
Grant us your grace
That in the choices we make each day,
We may do what we can for justice and love,
Honour your Name,
And reveal your Kingdom present among us.
Amen

Where our choices have reflected our sin
and not your love,
Have mercy, Lord – forgive us our sins.
Where we seek help to make choices
that conform to your ways,
Grant us grace, Lord – your will be done.
Where positive choices transform unjust structures,
We praise you, Lord – your kingdom come!
