Praying from 1 Corinthians 11:22. Themes: Community, Gratitude, Humility.
Dear God, please help us to remember that we are all part of your assembly and that we should not put others to shame who may not have enough. Please guide us to be grateful for the blessings you have given us, including our homes and the ability to eat and drink. Help us to use these blessings to serve and love others, rather than to boast or look down on those who may not have as much. We ask for your forgiveness for any times we have failed in this and pray for your strength to do better in the future. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
