City Hall, Milford, CT
Eternal God – Our Heavenly Father,
We pause and pray at this time to seek your blessing, upon our work and businesses. You formed the Earth and placed Adam the first man in the Garden to "work and take care of it." You further ordained that man by the sweat of his brow will grow and eat his food.
Business exists to provide needed products and services – and in doing so enables businesses to employ people – and through their labor they can provide their families need of food, clothing, shelter and medical care. In doing so they also gain income that is taxed so that the need of civilized society can be supplied with the revenue to cover services such as police and fire protection, educational services, and transportation.
We live in very challenging times – still dealing with the pandemic and its affects and now supply issues and rising inflation – all making business much more difficult to sustain their enterprises.
We pray for the pandemic to subside, for the end to hostilities in the Ukraine – causing great difficulties there and worldwide… Give to the owners and management of corporations and businesses the wisdom which you promise to all who seek it, to contend with shortages of materials and labor – and to deal fairly for all concerned in this very challenging and increasingly difficult time.
We don’t ask for help for selfish reasons – such as excessive profits for a select few – but for the good of all people in our city, state and country – and so our nation can be a beacon of hope showing the way for the entire world.Grant these requests for your honor and glory by your Holy Name
- Amen
