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.
Alternative Prayer for the Day
A prayer that our lives be offered to God
We offer you our hands, O Lord, to do your work; our lips to sing your praise; our life to proclaim your glory and our heart to serve you in our neighbour; for Jesu’s sake. Amen.
A prayer for transformation
By your beauty, O Lord, transform our poverty of soul. By your love tame the waywardness of our passions. By your grace renew the yearnings of our heart.

"If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me." (vv. 20-21)
