Prayer for the Day
A prayer for awareness of God's all-sufficient love
Sometimes it seems our tuneless songs are unleashed into emptiness, An unknowable void where nothing is heard.
Remove from us the fear that we are insufficient and that you are unresponsive.
Instead replace it with the knowledge that all we have is you and one another,
And that is enough.
Alternative Prayer for the Day
A prayer for wisdom
Gracious God, give us wisdom to perceive you, diligence to seek you, patience to wait for you, eyes to behold you, a heart to meditate on you and a life to proclaim you, through the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A prayer for strength
Be strength to our hearts, O Love most powerful. Be goodness to our taste, O Love most sweet. Be life to our souls, O Love most dear. Be comfort and support to us, O Love most faithful. Be endurance and hope to us, O Love most victorious. Amen.
