Week of Prayer for Christian Unity - Day 8

Today is the eighth day of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

For scripture, a meditation and questions for reflection, see the Graymoor page.
For all of the jointly prepared and published resources, see here.

Let us pray...

Take us from where we are,
to where you want us to be;
make us not merely guardians of a heritage,
but living signs of your coming Kingdom;
fire us with passion for justice and peace between all people;
fill us with that faith, hope and love which embody the Gospel;
and through the power of the Holy Spirit make us one.
That the world may believe,
that your name may be enthroned in our nation,
that your church may more effectively be your body,
we commit ourselves to love you, serve you,
and follow you as pilgrims not strangers.

Amen.
