Gospeling Our Life ~ Prayer

 

Story-telling, singing, shaping, sharing, Spirit of God, move in the narratives of our live today.  Like Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, each of us is a testimony and witness to You.  Each of us is being formed and fashioned by following the One who is Your love incarnate.  God, continue to prepare our hearts for what we will read.  Open our sacred imaginations, breathe within us through words that can be both familiar and some long-forgotten, because we don’t have all the gospels memorized.  We pray for the coming days and weeks that we might find You, Your wisdom, Your promise and possibility, Your grace and love, and ways we can be Your people through reading the Gospels together.  Guide us, ground us, bless us, and hold us as we dust off our Bibles, as we turn to an app on our phone, as we prepare to leap and land in the narratives of Your work then and now.  All this we pray in the name who knits us together as Your people, Jesus the Christ.  Amen.
