Great Lord of Heaven and Earth, who loved all things into being, open our eyes to see where we have come to expect things to you that you have not promised, that we might not grow bitter out of folly but trust in your goodness in all things, through Jesus our brother, who came to be with us and now intercedes for us still before your throne in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
“But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?’” – Matthew 20:13
