Almighty God, we thank You for the blessings of health and talent, education and opportunity. These are Your gifts to us. They are the reason we are not poor.

In all our work, this month and beyond, stir in our attention an awareness of poverty in America, especially poverty in Missouri. Whatever our agenda from day to day, may Your Holy Spirit cause us to consider the effects of our decisions upon the poor. Whenever our agenda focuses upon the needs of the poor, stir in us a special concern for those who have suffered great hardship and for those who have never enjoyed many of the blessings and opportunities we enjoy.

May our awareness of and our work for the poor be so godly that in the end we deserve the words of the prophet:
