MORNING PRAYER 

Loving God, 

Thank you for giving us everything you need.

Give us strength to help others who don't have as much as we do.

May the underprivileged get what they need.

Help your children follow the footsteps Jesus taught us

about helping others with whatever we have.

Thank you for everything you've done for us.

Through Christ our Lord

Amen
