Prayer Before A University Budget Meeting

Gracious God, You care for the flowers in the fields And the birds that fly. You assure us of your care, Even in moments of little faith. As we review the stewardship of your gifts, Help us to utilize them justly, sincerely, and wisely For the advancement of our University And to fulfill the needs of our students, Faculty, staff, and administrators. During this period of reflection, As we assess our requirements And distribute our resources, Let us remember we are fulfilling your mission, not our own. May we view this gathering as an opportunity to serve you. Let everything we think, say, and do Bring you glory And honor your name.Amen.
