A daily prayer from the New England Conference
The clergy and laity of the New England Conference 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
The United Methodist Church is celebrating 25 Years of the Order of Deacon, who are ordained to word, service, justice and compassion. This week we are celebrating the wide variety of ways that our conference has lived this out through our laity and clergy.
Gracious God, we come to you as imperfect individuals unable to realize when we hide our transgressions. But in your mercy you give us signs to understand your love. Forgive me when I hurt others and when I stumble and don’t realize that your love is stronger and helps me through those times. I thank you for your love and care and I know you are there to show me the way. Amen. Oración Escrituras: 2 Samuel 11:1-15; Salmo 14; Efesios 3:14-21; Juan 6:1-21 Dios bondadoso, venimos a ti como individuos imperfectos incapaces de darnos cuenta cuando ocultamos nuestras transgresiones. Pero en tu misericordia nos das señales para comprender tu amor. Perdóname cuando hago daño a los demás y cuando tropiezo y no me doy cuenta de que tu amor es más fuerte y me ayuda a superar esos momentos.Te agradezco tu amor y tu cuidado y sé que estás ahí para mostrarme el camino. Amén. Scriptures: 2 Samuels 11:1-15; Psalm 14; Ephesians 3:14-21; John 6:1-21 Written by Mehida A. Gonzalez, retired Deacon. Mehida is affiliated with the Commonwealth West District, Centralville UMC in Lowell and recently retired from the Lawrence Public Schools.
