God, you seek those who worship you in spirit and in truth.
May we praise you for the good things that happen
through those who are faithful in your service.
Teach us to give in proportion to all the
blessings we have received.
Send forth your Spirit,
renew the face of the ground
that we despoil through selfish living;
and create new works to the glory of your name.
