A daily prayer during this COVID-19 crisis

During these difficult days, Bishop Sudarshana Devadhar and the members of the 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.

Today’s prayer

When I was serving in the Troy Conference, one of my favorite hymns was frequently sung at the Commissioning/Ordination service. I would choke up and get goose bumps when we lifted our voices in song based on the above scripture. I would invite you to sing or prayerfully read verse 2 and the chorus of “Here I am, Lord,” found in The United Methodist Hymnal #593 before reading the prayer below.

Blessings, Rev. Megan Stowe, Superintendent, Commonwealth West District 1 Samuel 3:1-20

I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain. I have wept for love of them. They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone. I will speak my word to them, Whom shall I send? Here I am Lord. Is it I Lord? I have heard you calling in the night. I will go Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart. Here I am, Lord. Speak, for your servant is listening. Although many do not recognize you, or listen for your voice, Your lamp has not yet gone out. Here I am, for you called me. Even when it is tough to do the right thing, I’m ready to do your will, for you are with me. Amen.

Rev. Stowe's prayer and song were very touching. One of my all time favorite hymns. The other hymn I love is It Is Well With My Soul. Have a peaceful day.
