Prayer for the Day
A prayer of adoration
O Lord Christ, Wisdom of God we praise you, Word everlasting we bless you, Light undying we glorify you, Fountain of mercy we adore you, Joy of the saints we worship you.
Prayer for the Day
A prayer of thanks that God walks with the outcast
God of the Outcast; God of the Disempowered:
Thank you that you walk with us as One who has been rejected, despised, mocked.
Help us to follow the story of your pathfinders long past: justice-seekers like the Primitive Methodists who opened wide doors to welcome all.
A prayer that we may love the holy word
Let us love your holy word, O God, anxious to obey its commandments, eager to comprehend its meaning, longing to be guided by its precepts, yearning to hear the voice that speaks through its pages.
Walter James, Wesleyan minister (1879-1908)

"At that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve him with one accord." (v.9)
Zephaniah 3:1-2, 9-13
