March Prayer Circle

Loving and Merciful God,

Forgive us for sheltering in the darkness in these rapidly changing times. Remind us of your love and your unimaginable strength. Tell us again that we are your children, cherished and protected by you. Place again in our hearts the assurance that we stand in your light and are equipped, gifted and called to stand in the world as reflectors of your light, love and justice. Provoke us to action. Allow us to hold on to each other and to make change in this world for good. We, the people of Missouri Union Presbytery call on your name. We humbly ask for the rise of good leaders to walk with us, and for creative and lasting ways to build up your church so that more and more will come to know you and your great love for us. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
