Here’s an opening prayer of invocation inspired by John 6:35. It was written by Rev. Bonnie Tarwater.
Prayer of Invocation
(inspired by John 6:35)
God of Healing and Transformation,
we hunger and thirst for your abundant life.
We bring you our sorrow and ask for the bread of joy;
we bring you our despair and ask for the bread of hope;
we bring you our weariness and ask for the bread of inspiration.
Meet us here.
We need the bread of heaven to sustain us
We need the bread of heaven to sustain us
as we journey to find our way,
that we may we be one with you.
that we may we be one with you.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen
