Prayers from the Methodist Prayer Handbook

Endue us with your power, O Lord, that our mouths may speak your word, our hearts reveal your grace, our lives proclaim your goodness, and our labours find fulfilment in heaven. Amen. 

Holy God,
creation is your gift of grace,
pregnant with your presence.
You have adorned it with goodness,
with jewels of kindness
that shimmer and cast light into life.
The radiance of your Spirit refracts
through the lives of your people
and illuminates the darkness,
disturbing it with hope.
As your hand unveils what is hidden,
may we reflect what you reveal
for the good of all you have made. Amen.
