A Prayer for Pumpkin People

• While cutting off the top of the pumpkin, pray, “Lord,
open my mind so I can learn new things about you.”
(See Proverbs 1:7.)
• While removing the seeds and pulp, pray, “Remove
the things in my life that don’t please you. Forgive
the wrong things I do, and help me forgive others.”
(See Matthew 6:14-15.)
• While making eyes, pray, “Open my eyes to see the
beauty you’ve made in the world around me.” (See
Psalm 104:24.)
• While making the nose, pray, “I’m sorry for the
times I’ve turned up my nose at your many gifts.”
(See James 1:17.)
• While making the mouth, pray, “Let everything I say
please you.” (See Psalm 19:14.)
• While lighting the candle, pray, “Lord, help me
show your light to others through the things I do.”
