Meeting Prayers
God of love, we gather in your name.
We recognise your presence among us in our presence to each other, and in our interactions with each other. It is our wish that we may be co-creators with you, bringing hope and opportunity into the lives of others as we seek to elevate and sanctify the human condition. Make us open to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit so that where there are problems we may see possibilities, where there is darkness we may bring light. Bless us in our discerning and in our striving that we may bring life to those we meet, but especially to those we are called to serve. We make this prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen Be with us Spirit of the Lord as we gather in your name.
Enlighten our minds so that we may see clearly the issues we seek to address. Help us to listen to all present here out of conviction that we all share bits of the wisdom. Let us be conscious of the variety of gifts we bring to our interaction and planning. May we truly realise that together we can achieve good that would be less likely if working alone. Under your guidance, O Holy Spirit, may we leave this meeting clearer in our understandings and strengthened in our commitment to make a positive difference in the lives of others. We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen |
