Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name — We honor and worship You as the Creator of the universe and all the goodness that it holds. As we look to the future, we endeavor as Your children to continue to give You praise for the material blessings to come.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven — We pray that the way we budget and spend the monetary resources we receive will be used to extend Your restoration across this world according to Your pleasure.
Give us this day our daily bread — We ask that LeTourneau University be blessed with financial health. As we strive to use skillful strategies to maintain financial sustainability, we also pray that You will move in the hearts of potential donors. We pray You will continue to stir the desire in us to use the resources to further LeTourneau University’s holy educational calling.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us — Forgive us for greedily loving money more than we love You. We too often think that financial abundance will be the solution to our problems, and we neglect to seek You as our true hope.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil — As we thoughtfully and intentionally engage the financial realm of this world, please protect us from our desires that lead us astray and from our enemies who seek to ensnare us. Let our desire for financial independence be a platform for continued engagement with this world rather than an effort to build a barricade between us and this world.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever — When, in Your will, You choose to grant our desires, we commit to use them for participation in Your redemptive plan for the world, and may all glory and power be Yours forevermore.
