Time of Prayer

Lord God, we gather in your presence hoping to be nurtured in your love and at the same time challenged to greater faithfulness.  Help us to be obedient unto you and to follow your call.  Like Jonah, give us the discernment we need to choose the path you put before us.  But help us not to resist so much that we can’t find our way out of a fish belly.  We thank you for your guidance and your trust in us.  Amen.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.  Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever.  Amen.
