Prayer

Spirit of God,

Wherever You hover,

Wherever You stay,

Your Church is to be found.

Spirit of God,

Wherever You move,

Wherever You breathe,

Your Church is to be found.

Spirit of God,

We pray that in this time of challenge and change,

Your blessing and guiding

Will be with Your Church

As we ponder and plan,

As we decide and act.

Reveal to us as we think and talk,

As we gather and meet,

What Your will is for us today.

Remind us of past success and failure,

Make us examine our reasons and work today,

And open the door of the future to us

That we might see the far horizon

To which You point us,

And towards which You will lead us.

Give us enough vision,

Give us enough courage,

Give us enough strength

To dream and work and walk with You,

And may the brightness of Your presence

Shine in our hearts and souls,

And empower our hands,

And impel our feet

As we move onwards, forward,

With You, for You, beside You.

Spirit of God,

Comforter and Guide,

Healer and Inspirer,

Bless Your Church today.

Amen.
