A QUOTE by William Temple, A TEXT by St Paul AND A PRAYER…OR TWO

A QUOTE
When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don’t pray, they don’t. Archbishop William Temple

A TEXT
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
O Holy God of Israel,
you faithfully keep the promises
you made to our ancestors
and lead your people into the future,
providing hospitality on the way.
Help us who inherit the pilgrim life
to journey faithfully at your command,
that we may be a band of disciples
called to be sojourners in your service. Amen.

O God, your Spirit speaks through your prophets,
 protecting your people 
from those who would lead them astray.
 Raise up new voices in our time
 to speak with justice and power 
and to challenge the complacency 
that would have us rest easily with sin. Amen.
