During these difficult times we need to be immersed in prayer every step along the way.
You are welcome to use these as personal devotions, to share in your small group, or for use in corporate worship.
Today prayer
Oh Lord, let me love my brother,
let me love my sister
always and everywhere
as your mirrored Self
here among us, beside us,
and where I need to lift up,
let me bend my knees,
put my hands to the plough,
and do just that.
And where I need lifted up,
let pride never refuse
the rainbow touch of another.
Bless him, bless her, bless us
and weave us together within that covenant comfort
that stretches from here to there
till it reaches everywhere,
warm and strong
within the shelter of your loving arms.
In Jesus Name Amen.
