Good and gracious God, shine your light on the most gifted areas of our lives.
Give us understanding of how to utilize our gifts effectively so we may fulfill our calling and our destinies.
With joy and satisfaction, allow us to be helpers of humanity, exuding kindness, love and humility to lift up and improve the lives of others, for the betterment of all your people.
Lord, we ask you to release in each of us your creative spirit.
We ask for open minds and open hearts, that we might be clever and inventive in identifying solutions to complex problems in our world.
We ask for your wisdom and for the perseverance necessary to develop significant, life changing ideas.
Release all the creativity you have placed within us, enabling us to draw others near as we endeavor to live together, at this time, on this Earth, in solidarity.
We give thanks for the many blessings we receive from you, and especially for the gift of companionship, that we do not have to make our journeys alone.
We offer this prayer in your name.
Amen
Kent Porterfield
VP of Student Development
