Prayer
(inspired by Jeremiah 1: 4-10)
Dear
God,
we pray
that you would touch our mouths
and
give us the words to speak
of your
Good News in the world.
Teach
us not to be afraid
for you
will give us strength and the courage to persevere
in
times of trouble and threats.
Our
world needs prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah and Amos
to
pluck up and to pull down,
to
destroy and to over throw,
to
build and to plant.
May we
become your prophets today. Amen.
