For a Right Use of God’s Gifts
O LORD our God, without Whose will and pleasure, not a sparrow can fall to the ground, grant to us in times of trouble to be patient without murmuring or despair, and in prosperity to acknowledge Thy gifts, and to confess that all our endowments come from Thee, O Father of lights, Who givest liberally and upbraidest not. Give us, by Thy Holy Spirit, a willing heart and a ready hand to use all Thy gifts to Thy praise and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
