DAY 2

MORNING PRAYER

Tomorrow is World Food day.  It is a day where we are thankful for the food we have available to eat, but also think about good food and how it is distributed in our society and world.  We are asked to be good stewards of the food we have available, to not waste it as there are many who go without. 

Loving God,

Thank you for the food you provide for us. 

Help us to remember that we are all brothers and sisters 

and it is our duty to share the resource of food with our world.  

Help me not to waste, and to work

so that good food can be distributed to the hungry

in our community and around the world.  

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Amen
