Various — Temperance Work (2)
Almighty God, who dost require of all men that they should be faithful stewards of thy gifts: Deliver us, we beseech thee, from the selfishness that seeks gain without labour, or excitement without care for its cost to others. Set free those who are possessed by the gambling spirit, and break the power of those who exploit their weakness; and lead all men to seek in thee their true joy and to find in thy service the fullness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
