A Prayer For God's Inspiration

Father,

May everything we do begin with your inspiration

and continue with your saving help. Let our work always find its

origin in you and through you reach completion. We ask this through our Lord Jesus

Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the

Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever

Amen.

Gospel Reading The Parable of the Talents

Matthew 25: 14-30 A man who was going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one. Then he went away. Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them and made another five. Likewise, the one who received two made another two. But the man who received one, went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money. After a long time the master came back. The servants who had received five and two talents came forward bringing their additional talents. Their master said to them, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servants. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ Then the one who had received one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter; so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.’ His master said to him in reply, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return?’ So take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten. For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, dare to be!

Steve Maraboli

Closing Prayer

Help me to Know

You gift me with all the good gifts that make me the person you created me to be.

Help me to know and find your will and to trust that you will help me to understand

the path you call me to journey in life.

Where there is doubt give me courage. Give me a heart open to your quiet voice so

I can hear your call to me. Help me to know your faithfulness and help me to be faithful to that which you call me

to. Amen.
