Prayer for the Day
A prayer that we may walk in love
Lord God, may we walk in love.
May we walk slowly, step by step, so that we can be still in your presence.
May we walk sometimes in silence, so that we can know rest and peace.
May we walk with a spring in our step, and go forward with joy.
May we walk gazing outwards, seeing the beauty of the world around us.
May we walk looking more widely, conscious of other people and their needs.
May we walk in faith, knowing that you are beside us on every path that we take.
May we walk in love. Amen.
