As part of my morning prayer I use prayer cycles from various mission agencies as well as the parish prayer directory and our special prayer needs. Today in the Serving In Mission prayers was this pice. It really connected with Miriam Taylors good sermon last Sunday on Abiding in Christ (which you can hear on our website - go to the Sermons tab):
"By Prayer" is not ...
- a slogan pasted on the outside of our literature;
it is a conviction bound on the inside of our hearts.
- a religious decoration;
it is a core value.
- a clever soundbite;
it is a humble posture.
- compartmentalised as one duty of ministry;
it shapes every aspect of every ministry.
- an empty ritual;
it is an activity that in itself expresses love and compassion for others.
(written by Joshua Bogunjokko)
May you have some even better conversations with God as a result of taking that on board!
