We cannot do everything (a prayer)

God our creator, we can’t solve all the world’s problems.
We cannot meet all needs.
We cannot do everything.
We cannot bring everyone to Christ.
We cannot feed all the world’s hungry.
But, even though we know we can’t do everything,
We know we can do something.
Accept, then, our humble commitment and our even more humble gifts,
in the hope and assurance that what we do here will be worthy of being called Christians.
Amen.

(From the worship book of the WARC General Council 1989, Seoul, with modifications)
