As
Jeff and I were walking this evening our discussion turned toward the
future. We often talk about where God
will call us to do ministry. We dream
about places where we think we may enjoy living. I suggested we start to pray for our future
congregation. While we believe in the
prayer that never fails: “Thy will be
done,” we can pray that we all are preparing for the day we meet and for the
ministry we will do together. We can
pray for open minds, spirits and hearts for all of us. We can pray for calmness in our hope and in
our journeys into new adventures. And we
shall.
Dear God, we don’t know what the
future holds. We can only trust in you
and your will. Please prepare the hearts
of those whose lives we will each touch.
Help us to do your will in relationships, in communities and in the
world. Guide us in all we do. Amen.
