A PRAYER FOR THE EPIPHANY SEASON
This prayer comes from the inaugural service of Action of Churches Together in Scotland (ACTS). It is relevant for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and for all of the epiphany season. Adapted slightly. Take us from where we are, to where you want us to be; make us not merely guardians of a heritage, but living signs of your coming Kingdom; fire us with passion for justice and peace between all people; fill us with that faith, hope and love which embody the Gospel; and through the power of the Holy Spirit make us one. That the world may believe, that your name may be enthroned in our communities, that your church may more effectively be your body, we commit ourselves to love you, serve you, and follow you as pilgrims not strangers. Amen | |
