Prayer of the Harvest

Lord of the fields, the Bible says that when a farmer reaps the harvest of the land, they should not reap the very edges of the field or gather the gleanings of the harvest.

Jesus, you said the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few and to love your neighbor as yourself.

Today in America, 40% of all food goes uneaten. Send modern-day gleaners to grocery stores and restaurants to gather food that would otherwise go to waste. Fill our food pantries with your bountiful harvest and love for the needy and stranger among us.

In your precious name, we pray.
Amen.
