a prayer for the year coming
Lindisfarne Scriptorium produce A Call to Pray as a discipleship resource. It includes 13 cards, each with an artistic image, each with a prayer. They are wallet-sized, so over the summer holiday, they’ve been great to sit with at the beginning of each day. Or to place in your pocket as you go for a reflective walk.
Sunday I headed up a hill for a 2 hour walk, with the following prayer. As I walked and pondered, some questions began to emerge, which helped me as I began to pray for the year ahead.
Please God
grant us the grace
to change our hearts,
to open our minds
To ponder: What are the images of God in which you find grace?
Grant us the grace
to bless our small corner,
to encourage each other
To ponder: What is your “small corner”/refuge/sanctuary? What will bless it?
Grant us the grace
to pray for the world,
to care to much.
To ponder: How can you care too much for the world?
Grant us the grace, please Lord.
Prayer from Lindisfarne Scriptorium. Reflective questions by Steve and Kayli Taylor.
