Daily Prayer

Members of the New England Conference Extended Cabinet are sharing a daily prayer based on the Revised Common Lectionary for the week.

You are welcome to use these in worship or in your own devotions.

Read John 14: 23 – 29
 
 Holy Spirit,
 
 My request is simple to pray but hard to practice.
 
 Instill in me and my community a hunger for learning.
 
 Root in me and my community an ear for prophecy.
 
 Plant in me and my community the seed of generosity.
 
 Build in me and my community
  a passion for diversity and difference.
 
 Cultivate in me and my community the practices of
  worship
  fasting
  prayer.
 
 Pour in me and my community
  a healthy dollop of common sense.
 
  Amen.
