e~mergent kiwi: Prayer for financial times

A pretty cool little prayer for the weekly offering that this guy wrote up.

God, you took a risk,In giving Jesus as a baby.
What if he was misunderstood, misquoted, mistreated?

God, you took a riskIn giving us dreams and visions
What if we deny our gifts, hoard our gifts, compound our private interest?

God, you took a riskIn giving us this earth
What if we pollute it, exploit it, attack each other?

God with this offering we say Yes.
Yes, we participate in your risk
Yes, we give ourselves - our time, our talents - away,
Yes, we care for our people, planet and place.

We pray, we hope, In the name of the one who took the first risk,
Amen.
