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 closeness with God
Loving God, help me feel connected to you so that you may use me where you have placed me. Help me draw close enough that I may see with your eyes, hear with your ears and think with your mind, because you are a just God and justice is a part of loving. Let me support victims who aren’t recognised and people excluded from the accepted circle. Enable me to help people who are suffering because others seek to increase their wealth. Empower me to advocate for children who cannot fulfil their potential or for those whose voices aren’t heard. Bring me out from my comfort zone. Stop me just acting in my own interests. Let me do right! Amen.
