Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, we praise you for the gifts and skills you have put into our lives. We thank you that we have eyes to see, ears to hear and minds to think. We praise you for giving us a desire to learn more about you and your world. We thank you for all those inventions that make life easier and safer. We praise you for lives made more comfortable and for lives that have been saved; for the fun and excitement that modern technology has added to our lives. Forgive us whenever we put our possessions before people, ourselves and our dreams before the needs of others. Forgive us whenever we put anyone or anything before you. Forgive us for pleasing ourselves and not listening to your call to love our neighbor. Hear our prayer and fill us again with your love and joy. In Christ’s precious and wonderful name.

Amen.
