Prayer for General Conference
The 2008 General Conference Hosting Committee Prayer Ministries Team has issued an invitation for persons to pray daily for all the preparations and deliberations leading up to the United Methodist Church’s top legislative meeting this spring in Ft. Worth, Texas. The goal of the team is so that “in all that we do we are rooted and grounded in love.” Below is a scripture and prayer to be prayed daily for General Conference. Please use it before and during the meeting which will be held April 23- May 4.
O Holy One, Be Thou our Vision,
For the church,
For all the United Methodist Conferences.
We pray for Your guidance and Your strength.
Be Thou our Vision for the world.
We pray for Your justice and Your peace.
Through Your amazing grace
Help us to see what we need to see,
Help us to be who You call us to be.
O Holy One, let our breathing lead us into a place of ever-deepening faith.
Let us be awake to the Divine Indwelling where you promise,
“I shall live in them and I shall walk the corridors of their heart.”
Let this be a time of
Holy Listening…Holy Conversations…and Holy Conferencing
