Prayer for the Day
A prayer that we might share God's beauty
We thank you, loving God, that you have put us in a place where we can reach out and support all those who are active in bringing your word to your people. Let us be open to your Holy Spirit so that what we do brings blessings to others. May we hear the song you have placed in our hearts and be open to sharing it so that the beautiful music of your Resurrection will be heard throughout the land.

God of the slave, hope of the captive, healer of the broken; come to your people and set them free.
