PRAYER FOR OUR WORLD

God, may your ever present love surround humanity like a beautiful song. Give our world the language of value, care, peace and wisdom.

Be ever present with those who lack this language and have carried pain through. Let your kingdom change lives.

Be ever present with those who have faced this pain. Let your kingdom be their haven.


PRAYER FOR OUR COMMUNITY

God, may your ever present love surround our people like a swelling melody. Give our community the strength to make real change.

Be with our missional partners, such as the Joint Religious Legislative Coalition. Let their work have deep impact to those who suffer from oversight in our state policies. Let our involvement bring life to those left behind.


PRAYER FOR OUR LIVES

God, may your ever present love surround my heart like a resonant tone. Give me eyes to see the life I’m living, ears to hear the words I’m speaking. Stir in my soul as I learn to live.

Rest in my soul as I learn to be.
Let me find you in every song.

Once a month, we invite a member of our community to write and share prayers for the world, our community, and our lives during the service. In between, the body sings a refrain in spiritual agreement of the prayers. The goal is to hear from a diversity of voices in this space (in age, gender, culture, etc), and to spark creativity and encouragement in your own prayer life. Email Katherine if you’re interested in sharing your prayers with the community.
