Today’s entry from the Network Conference prayer guide, “Contending for the Gospel Through Prayer”:
On this, the last day before the conference, let us pray this well-known Prayer for the Church found in the Book of Common Prayer:
Most gracious God, we humbly beseech thee for thy holy Catholic Church. Fill it with all truth; in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where any thing is amiss, reform it; where it is right, strengthen and confirm it; where it is in want, furnish it, where it is divided and rent asunder, make it whole again, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
We woke up to ugly travelling weather in Ottawa today. Luverly.
Snow and ice pellets are forecast for tonight – pray for the safety of those travelling. Isn’t it always thus.
