Our Gifts to God
STEWARDSHIP IS EVERYTHING I DO,
Prayer for Labor Day AFTER I SAY I BELIEVE !
On this weekend, when we rest from our usual labors, loving
Father, we pray for all who shoulder the tasks of human
labor—in the marketplace, in factories and offices, in the $3,500 $3,308
professions, and in family living. We thank you, Lord, for the
gift and opportunity of work; may our efforts always be pure $3,000
of heart, for the good of others and the glory of your
$2,401 $2,392
name. We lift up to you all who long for just employment and $2,500
$2,164
those who work to defend the rights and needs of workers
everywhere. May those of us who are now retired always $2,000
remember that we still make a valuable contribution to our
Church and our world by our prayers and deeds of $1,410
$1,500
charity. May our working and our resting all give praise to
you until the day we share together in eternal rest with all our $1,000
departed in your Kingdom as you live and reign Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. $500

God in your goodness, you have made a home $0
