this is for worship i’m leading next week for the cfm staff gathering
it will take grace to let others here be different to our expectations of them
so we pray for grace
it will take courage for each of us to live beyond the story we know of ourselves
so we pray for courage
it will take wisdom to believe we don’t have all the answers
so we pray for wisdom
it will take hope to believe our future is not yet determined
so we pray for hope
in the story of god all expectations are defied
all things are made possible
the whole world is made new
it will take faith to live as though this can be our story
and so we pray for faith.

Simply beautiful, Cheryl. Thank you for this prayer. I shall certainly use it and recommend it.

This is beautifully put, thanks for making it public!
I’ve just discovered this blog while looking for ways to run an interfaith vespers service on a mission trip to Guatemala (we’re leaving tomorrow!). This prayer is superb, and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
This is a beautiful prayer! I found you through jonny baker’s blog. So glad I did.
thanks Chris, that’s lovely
