Lord, hear our prayer:

Exalted Lord and magnificent Creator, we thank you for the pictures Jesus gave: of faith like a mustard seed, small, but enough to move mountains of problems and valleys of despair; of the seeds of the gospel to be sown in good soil, bearing fruit beyond all expectation for the glory of God; of a widow’s poor gift that brought riches of love to the Father; of a child in the midst whose trust is the model for all would-be disciples. Wonderful God! We thank you for those who taught us about a Saviour and led us to trust him as Lord. May our words and lives and deeds lead others to give thanks to you. In the name of Jesus the Great Teacher.

Amen.
