Prayer
(inspired
by John 21:1-19, Acts 9, Luke 24:13-35)
Call our names, Lord.
Call us as you called Saul,
Call us as you called Saul,
when we are travelling in the
wrong direction,
when we are breathing threats,
when our hearts are full of evil intent.
Speak to us in unexpected voices
and set us on a new path.
Call our names, Lord.

Speak to us in unexpected voices
and set us on a new path.
Call our names, Lord.
Call our names, Lord.
Call us as you called Ananias to be an instrument of healing,
to be agents of change,
to speak truth to power.
Even when we are fearful of the cost,
give us trust in your sending.

Call us as you called the disciples and invited them for breakfast,
even though they did not recognize you.
Help us to see that there will be enough food for everyone
if we persist through the long night of waiting,
if we take the risks of faith and sharing
to reach the abundance of daybreak.

Call us as you called Simon Peter and asked for his love,
then told him to feed and tend your people.
May we see the connection
between love of you and love of your people;
that we too may feed and be fed,
and follow you.
