harvest prayer

Here is a wonderful prayer I just read by Christine Sine.

God of the Bountiful--A Harvest Prayer
by Christine Sine

"God, we thank you for your harvest, which feeds us so many times each day.

We are nourished with your forgiveness and hope,

We are sustained with your strength and patience,

We are filled with your grace and compassion.

God, we thank you for feeding us with a harvest of plenty.

We are restored through your generosity and healing,

We are replenished with your abundance and joy,

We are reminded of your selfless abandon.

God, we thank you for feeding us with the bread of heaven.

Your gift of Christ sustains our lives,

His presence restores the promise of your love,

His life fills our hearts with your everlasting light.

God, we thank you too for filling us with the water of life.

May we drink deeply that our thirst may be quenched,

May your river continue to flow,

Over us, in us, through us,

And out into the world you love."
