Prayer for the Centerville Business Community

[This prayer was offered at the start of today's Mayor's Business Appreciation Breakfast sponsored by the city of Centerville, Ohio, held at The Golf Club at Yankee Trace. There are more than 700 businesses that call Centerville home.]

Mighty God and King, thank You for the people in this room who have used the brains, the ability, the drive to be one’s best, and the willingness to innovate and to try that You have given to them as they have established businesses, created opportunities, and improved the life of this community. Bless them with insight and wisdom and the faith to follow where You lead them and their businesses. We thank You for the food we’re about to eat and we thank You for the people who prepared it all. Use this food and our time together this morning to strengthen us to serve You and our neighbors with dedication and heart. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
