1 Corinthians 9:1-14

Father, forgive us

    For the times that we have squandered your blessings on our own desires:

    For the times when we have supported causes through emotion and not careful             consideration:

    For the times when our motives in giving have been selfish rather than selfless:

    For the times when we have begrudged a living to those in ministry:

    Forgive us for muzzling the ox; and receiving your word without                                     generous compensation.

Grow our love, for your servants;

for Jesus sake.

Amen
