Trinity Discernment Prayer
O Everlasting, Omniscient, and Loving God
We confess that our daily worries and concerns
often blind us to your voice and guidance in our lives.
We thank You for this time of change,
may it be an opportunity to grow together more closely
as followers of your son Jesus Christ
as we work to discern your path forward for our congregation.
We pray that You will watch over the Bishop, diocesan transitional
ministry team, the parish clergy, members of our vestry,
and the other leaders of our church as they lead us on a new path for our parish.
We pray for the members of the discernment committee
as they endeavor to do Your holy work in calling a new rector for Trinity.
We pray for all the members of our parish family during this time of transition
that we come closer to You and feel your presence in our hearts.
Amen.
