Friday's Community Prayer is an examen focused on protection and guidance.
Today's prayer is led by Jade Spears, Director of Mission Integration.
Take a moment to quiet yourselves in preparation for community prayer.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Today we will reflect on the guidance God has given us this week, and ask God to help us look onto the next week with wisdom and strength.
Invite the Holy Spirit to come and fill your heart and mind with wisdom. How has God led you in moments of strength this week?
What wise words has God spoken into your heart this week? How has it helped you address the challenges you may have faced this week?
Observe God’s presence in your life when you were called to act with wisdom this week. How did God’s words change the way you may have acted?
Ask God to continue to instill in you strength, insight, and focus to have a posture of grace and peace of mind in the week ahead.
Dear Lord, we come before You, grateful for the wise words and perception You give us in overcoming difficult situations. Help us to embrace Your words and truly live out the words that You have spoken to us and Your guidance in our decision making. May we lead each other with Your discernment and rationale. Amen.
Let us pray our closing response together: Good and gracious God, guide me today and always. St. Joseph, Pray for Us.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
