Opening Prayer: Drawing Near


Here’s an opening prayer from Dot Woods and the Lighting Beacons website.

Opening Prayer


We gather to meet with God
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
To be aware of your presence in our day
For you, Lord, are here now;
your Spirit dwells within us
To bring you our worship
And offer you our praise
To be conscious that you walk beside us
And we do not make the journey alone
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, draw near to us
As we draw near to you
Amen
