Here’s
a prayer of petition and commitment from Terri on the RevGalBlogPals website.
Prayer
(inspired by
Ephesians 2:14, John 17, Galatians 3:28, Romans 12:5)
Almighty
God,
by
your Holy Spirit
you
have made us one with your saints
in
heaven and on earth:
Help
us to see your presence
burning
in the hearts of others;
grant
that we may be united
in
a fellowship of love and prayer;
give
us the courage to pick up our cross
and
respond to the needs of the world,
give
us the stamina to follow you,
to
be your hands and heart in the world;
enable
us to witness to your grace and mercy.
We
pray all this
through
the love your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
