Prayer

Almighty God, sometimes we think of prayer as the opportunity to convince you we are right. Help us to see instead that prayer is an opportunity to encounter you. Through our prayer, shape us that we might grow closer to you. May our relationship with you transform our lives, making us instruments of your grace and peace each day. Give us the perseverance to remain faithful in prayer and committed to the lives to which you call us. We pray in your name. Amen.

Unity

Unity

Prayer

Creator God, we learn from the creation stories in the bible that you did not create us to be alone. We have been made for each other. In a time when we seem separated by ceaseless division, help us find ways to restore the bonds of being and affection that unite all who live through your creative hand. Bless us with the gift of unity and give us the courage necessary to make it a reality in our lives and world. Amen.
