A Prayer For General Conference
The Central Texas Annual Conference Host Committee, which is preparing for the upcoming assembly in Fort Worth, has issued a "A Call to Prayer for General Conference 2008." They ask all United Methodist to join them in praying daily for General Conference. The following prayer was written by the committee.
O Holy One, Be Thou our Vision,
For the church,
For all the United Methodist Conferences.
We pray for Your guidance and Your strength.
Be Thou our Vision for the world.
We pray for Your justice and Your peace.
Through Your amazing grace
Help us to see what we need to see,
Help us to be who You call us to be.
O Holy One, let our breathing lead us into a place of ever-deepening faith.
Let us be awake to the Divine Indwelling where you promise,
“I shall live in them and I shall walk the corridors of their heart.”
Let this be a time of
Holy Listening…Holy Conversations…and Holy Conferencing.
