A Prayer For ‘If’

Lord Jesus

You came that all might have life in abundance

When you fed hungry people, everyone ate and had enough

We know that there is enough food for everyone

IF we don’t look the other way

IF we give the poorest people the power to feed themselves

IF we use the land for food not fuel

If we stop poor farmers losing their land

IF taxes are paid where they are due

So Lord Jesus,

direct our attention to see beyond our own needs

Strengthen the hungry, the poor, and their rights

Preserve and protect the land that brings forth food

And contend with us for justice

Amen
