Prayers

Reflection at the End of a Day

In the silence

we hold before God the day now passing into history

and we give thanks

silence

Lord, for this day

We give you thanks

Lord, for the moments when we encountered grace and beauty

We give you thanks

Lord, for conversations that have made an impact on our lives

We give you thanks

Lord, for the times when we have seen you at work

We give you thanks

In the silence we hold before God the hurts of the past day

silence

Lord, we remember the times

when we have not shown love

through our thoughts, words and actions

We seek forgiveness

Lord, we remember the times

when we have been hurt by the words and actions of others

Help us to forgive

Lord, we remember the times

when we have been distracted from seeking after you

Lord, make yourself known to us,

help us to see you

in the midst of the noise and clamour of this world

In the silence we hold before God

tomorrow and the opportunities it bears

silence

Lord, we pray that your Holy Spirit would guide us

into the ways of righteousness

That you would give us strength for the journey

Lord, you know the shape of our lives at this time,

you know the delights we enjoy and the pressures we endure.

Guide us and give us wisdom to know your will,

strengthen our resolve to discern your call.

Lord, make yourself known to us in the daily pattern of our lives,

Help us to see the fruit borne out of small actions

Lord, help us to live faithfully amidst uncertainty,

Fortify us to be followers in your Way

Lord, help us to not live as autonomous units,

But as fellow travellers on a journey.

Lord, build up the community of which we are part,

And shape it around the cross of your Son Jesus Christ.

Lord, as we sleep tonight, may we rest in the knowledge of your relentless love

When we wake tomorrow,

may we be prepared for all that lies ahead

Thank you, Lord, for all our dear friends and family here at the Balboa Union Church

Reading to Share

Two of the most important decisions you will make this side of eternity involve who you marry and joining a new church. One is certainly more permanent than the other, but both are vitally important and should not be viewed as disposable decisions.

When joining a new church—it should be obvious that the decision should be based on more than the relevant name or the church’s online presence.
