The Pumpkin Prayer:

THE PUMPKIN PRAYER:

Dear God,

As I carve my pumpkin help me to say this prayer:

Open my mind so I can learn about You;

(cut the top of the pumpkin)

Take away all my sin and forgive me for the wrong things I do.

(Clean out the inside)

Open my eyes so Your love I will see;

(Cut eyes shaped like hearts)

I'm sorry for turning up my nose to all you've given me.

(Cut a nose in the shape of the cross)

Open my ears so Your word I will hear;

(Cut ears shaped like the Bible)

Open my mouth so I can tell others You're near.

(Cut the mouth in the shape of a fish)

Let Your light shine in all I say and do! Amen.

(Place a candle inside and light it)
