God, we come to you this day with the words you gave us in Jeremiah,
Romans, Isaiah, Ephesians, Hebrews, 1 Peter, and Judges:
For you, Lord, know the plans you have for us at Mosaic,
plans to help us prosper and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future in ministry, in Tucson.
You have asked us to call upon you for vision and direction. In obedience we come and pray to you
and listen to you. You have promised us Lord that we will seek you, and we will find you when we seek you
with all our heart.
You have called us to be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
We are your servants in whom you delight. As you promised, please put your Spirit, your desires
in our hearts. You called us in righteousness. Take our hands, our efforts, and our
work in the church. Make us to be a covenant for the people.
Let
us speak only what is helpful for building others up, encouraging and loving one another to the benefit of those who hear
us. Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds. Let us consider
and use the gifts we have from you, to serve others.
Praise for your grace and faithfulness.
Touch us with your love and peace.
Let us go forth with the assurance that
you, O Lord, have indeed gone out before us. AMEN
