Source of all goodness, who is generous with all you have made, keep us from comparing ourselves to others around us, that we would not fall into the trap of bitterness nor the folly of pride but instead hold fast to your graciousness to us and trust in what comes from your hand, through Jesus our Lord, who lives with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect love forever and ever. Amen.
“And when they received it, they grumbled against the landowner, saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’” – Matthew 20:11-12
