Prayer of the Day
A daily prayer from the Methodist Prayer Handbook

Friday, 18 Jun 2021

Come to us, O Christ, as the wind that blows the autumn leaves, as the song that soothes the troubled child, as the melody that lifts the anxious spirit. Fill us with affection for you that is unbounded, desire for you that is unrestrained and a yearning for you that throws caution to the winds, and this for your own love’s sake. Amen.

Architect of all we know, we stand in amazed silence, for we were not there  when you spoke all that is into being, and the heavens rejoiced.
Was it in a burst of wonder and glory that everything came forth from nothing?
With your compasses and levels you drew the edges between life and death and set in motion the ticking hearts of atoms.
O maker of me, you thought and plants unfurled, creatures teemed into the corners of all the world, more than we can ever name or know.
And all of this a house for us! Amen.
