Sunday Prayers for Discernment

As part of our congregational period of discernment, prayers will be emailed to you each Sunday. We encourage you to pray this prayer throughout the week that our congregation may be connected with God and each other prayer.

God who speaks through the Holy Spirit, through the Holy Bible, and through holy conversation, help me to hear from you. I want your guidance for how to live my life. I face daily decisions of minor and major consequence. I am part of a church family facing decisions that matter greatly. I want to be faithful to what you would have me think, say, do. I want the same for the church. I look to Jesus as my example and as the author of my salvation to show me the way and to help me follow it. I surrender my will to him. Show me the way. Amen.
