Prayer of the Community
|
Gracious God, who gives us our savior, we pray that strength and courage abundant be given to all who work for a world of reason and understanding. That the good that lies in each of our hearts may day by day be magnified. That we will come to see more clearly not that which divides us, but that which unites us. That each hour may bring us closer to a victory, not of nation over nation, but of ourselves out of our own weakness. That the true gifts of the coming Christ, hope, abiding faith and above all, love may be ours. That the blessings of peace be ours, so that we might build and grow your kingdom, living in harmony and caring for others, and looking forward for your grace. Hear us as we pray… Silent Prayer, ending with prayer by Pastor Ara, and the Lord’s Prayer
