Prayer List
Let wonder be reborn with this dawning day...
Lord,
let the dawn connect our hearts with dawns long past
that shone on saints whose lives reflect
the light your Spirit cast.
Through word and deed and prayer
they turned their dreams to fact.
May we, like them, have faith to dare,
to dream great dreams and act!
Yet help us be a church where questions are allowed,
that understands the human search your Spirit has endowed,
that trusts the Spirits feeds the questions that we raise,
believing they become the seeds of future faith and praise.
~ from the hymn "Let Wonder Be Reborn" (#588 in the One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism: An African American Ecumenical Hymnal)
