Grateful for what I have.
That's not fair!
I want....
I Want...
I WANT...
Are words
I sometimes think or say.
But when I stop awhile
Or take the time to pray,
I know that's not the case at all.
It might be tough,
It might be hard
But it's really not unfair.
And want and need are not the same;
There are so many things I have.
So, thank you God for what I have
And all the things I do.
Help me to share, to give, to love,
And always say “thanks” to you.
There are some…
I see the news,
I hear the news,
I even look at the newspaper,
Sometimes.
But I don’t really understand
What is going on.
There are some that have
And some that don’t.
There are some that have time to learn
And some that have to work.
There are some who are loved
And some who are shown no care.
There are some that live in peace
And some who know nothing but war.
There are some that live
And some that die.
Dear God
Who knows and sees and cares for all;
May those that have nothing have some.
May those that have had no time to learn be taught.
May those who are lonely know love.
May those at war experience peace.
May those who live in fear of death see life.
Amen.
Prayer for Fair Trade
God who made the world –
Beautiful things to see,
Wonderful things to do,
Interesting place to go,
And such tasty things to eat.
God who made the world –
With more than enough to share,
With beauty for all to see,
Work for all to do,
And space for all to live.
Help us to not be greedy.
God who made the world –
We thank you for the skills people have;
Farming,
Fishing,
Making,
Mending.
God who made the world –
Thank you for those who care for others
Who are not given what they deserve
For all they grow,
Or catch,
Or make, or mend.
Help me to do all I can to make sure that their life is fair.
Micah 6:8
Father God, you made us all like you.
We are all part of your family.
So it’s not fair that some of us have so much and some so little or
nothing at all.
Please open our hearts to being fair for all.
Give us the strength and courage
To be fair, kind and think of others ahead of ourselves.
Amen.
You love us all the same
Thank you that wherever we are
You love us all the same.
Thank you that whatever we have
You love us all the same.
Thank you that whatever we do
You love us all the same.
Thank you that wherever we go
You love us all the same.
Thank you that however we look
You love us all the same.
Thank you simply that
You love us all the same.
