Prayer for the Day
A prayer that our lives tell God's story
In the beginning was the Word: the Word inspires and infuses all of our words, our stories and songs.
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us: God’s story of hope and life was opened for all.
This becomes our story, our song: all things work together for good for those who love God.
May our lives tell your story, loving God and our song be for you, today and forever.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

A prayer of rejoicing
Today, O God, may we drink from the cup of your salvation, rejoice in the company of your saints and delight in the sacrifice of your praise. Amen.
