Prayer for the Day
A prayer that God may lead us in God's dance
Author of life divine,
whose song unleashes beauty,
creating wonder and inspiring awe.
You call our voices out,
join them in a renewing melody which is older than time.
You lead us, then move us,
in a dance lost in wonder, love, and praise.
In such moments, our humanity reverberates with grace and we know ourselves beloved. Amen.
Alternative Prayer for the Day
A prayer that God may dwell within us
O most gracious Sovereign and Redeemer, come and dwell within us and reign where you have the right to reign. By your Holy Spirit take possession of our souls and lead us in the ways of righteousness and peace; through 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.
