Dear Lord,
We come to you today with grateful hearts for the wisdom and guidance you have given us through the last three episodes. We thank you for showing us the importance of staying true to your word, even when it means standing up against those in positions of power.
We pray for those who are struggling in their congregations, who are facing difficult decisions and uncertain futures. We ask that you give them strength and wisdom as they navigate the challenges ahead.
Help us to remember the example of Paul, who faced many obstacles and challenges but never lost faith in you. May we have the courage and perseverance to continue on the path you have set before us, even when it is difficult.
We also ask that you give us hearts of compassion and understanding towards those who may not see things as we do. Help us to reach out in love and seek common ground, rather than being divided by our differences.
Finally, we ask that you bless our congregations and all those who are working to build your kingdom on earth. May we be united in our love for you and for each other, and may our actions and words reflect the light of your love to the world around us.
In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
