O God of concern and compassion, we come into Your presence in this prayer not that You need us, but because of our supreme need of You. In our prayer relationship, our horizons are enlarged, our vision is expanded, our perspectives are heightened, our hope is increased, our whole being is edified. Make us receptive to that which You would impart, making Your teachings illumine our minds. May we never be content to let selfishness or greed cloud our actions, but may we follow Your way as Your Word reveals it.
Amen.
