Here’s
a prayer of petition and commitment from the Christian Aid website.
Prayer
'In the beginning was
the Word ...
to all who received him,
who believed in his name,
he gave power to become
children of God.' (John 1:1,12)
Inspiring
Word,
move over the chaos within me,
calling forth form and order,
that I may know you in my shaping,
and in the shaping,
surrender my life to yours.

calling forth insight and understanding,
that I may know you in my seeing,
and in seeing,
follow the way of your kingdom.

embody you for the world.
