Here’s a prayer for
discernment from Katherine Hawker.
Prayer
Loving God,
We pray for the
wisdom to discern your call in our lives.
Hear our prayer, O
God.
We pray for the
wisdom to make healthy choices
in the face of
endless and confusing options.
Hear our prayer, O
God.
We pray for the grace
to redefine our relationships
with our parents and
our friends as our lives change.
Hear our prayer, O
God.
We pray for the grace
to form new relationships
with new friends as
we move forward from this place.
Hear our prayer, O
God.
We pray for the
courage to swim against the current of society
as we seek to follow
where you lead us.
Hear our prayer, O
God.
We pray for the
courage to take a stand with you
for justice and peace
in this world in this time.
Hear
our prayer, O God. Amen.
