Prayer of the Day

Tuesday 09 February 2010

Guide us by your unchangeable Spirit, O God, that we may seek peace and pursue it, that we may follow in the way of righteousness, increase in our knowledge of the one true light and seek the goodness and welfare of all, until the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of Christ, for ever and ever. Amen.

George Fox (1624-1691)

Creator, God of time and giver of life, thank you for the gift of feelings and emotions that enable us to enjoy your beautiful creation and know that we are a part of it.
Father God, who, when you burst through human time and space, gave our humanity a new meaning in Jesus of Nazareth, help us to discover every day the newness of life in community, in joyful service and solidarity with others.
Father God, who, through the Holy Spirit continues to renew our time, teach us to walk each day, aware of death but with the wonder of eternity. Amen

Nellie Ritchie, bishop, The Evangelical Methodist Church in Argentina
