A Prayer

Lightbearer

Jesus, I call upon the power in Your name
to see the way my path must surely lead,
to heal the sick, to tend and feed your flock.
Christ, you are the Lord who calls us to make peace,
to strive for justice daily in your world,
to use your gifts of wisdom, patience, hope,
to be the servant-bearer of the Light.
Spirit, we worship you in truth and holiness.
We seek new ways to make the message clear,
to praise, confess, forgive and show your love
in breaking bread and sharing of our cup.

Hi Jan! I was just drafting my "second Friday" Friday Five for tomorrow and noticed that it looked like you had scheduled one as well....Did you need/want to switch, or maybe get mixed up about the week? Let's decide which to leave up and which to take down tonight, okay?
