A daily prayer from the New England Conference

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.

Today's Prayer

All-Knowing God,

what a gift it is

to know that we are all fully known

and fully loved by you.

Forgive us for the many ways in which we attempt to tell others

who to be in this world.

Teach us instead how to be with (and not seek to control) others,

how to honor their stories,

how to revere others and their unique lives as sacred.

For in doing so,

we are blessed with the opportunity to know more of you.

Amen.

Inspired by Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16 By Rev. Ashley Renée Johnson, Director of Connectional Ministries
