Harvest of the 21st century
Category: Harvest

Lord of the harvest we thank you for all that you have given:

We thank you for all that we have to eat and drink,

for the work of our hands and the work of our minds

for creative thought and caring action.

We thank you for those who work on our behalf,

for farmer and fisherman

power workers, health workers, police and social workers

teachers and lecturers

council workers and political leaders.

We thank you for those whose work produces finished goods and services.

We thank you for those whose unseen toil contributes to the fabric of our society.

In our thanksgiving for all that you have provided and enabled,

we remember those whose harvest has failed.

We pray for those who are facing an uncertain future

because of the lack of rain

because of war and natural disaster

because of trade restrictions, corruption and lack of resources.

We pray

for a more equal sharing of the worlds harvest and work opportunities

for a diminishing of the divide between rich and poor

for more understanding between nations, faiths and cultures.

Lord of the harvest we a grateful for all that you have provided

help us to share what we have to fulfil your command to love others as we love ourselves.

Lord, we thank you for the harvest that you provide.

Amen
