Deep Calls to Deep: A January Prayer

Feb 16, 2016

God of new begin­nings and win­ter days,
as we emerge from the tun­nel of sor­row and grief—
both our own and that of those we have had the priv­i­lege of
encoun­ter­ing & min­is­ter­ing with this past week—
remind us that even as You are with us in our deep­est and dark­est val­leys,
You also, always go ahead of us.

Even in the midst of sor­row and grief,
deep calls to deep
and You beckon us for­ward.

Help us to hear and have the courage
to respond to that call,
step­ping out in faith & trust­ing You are both
lead­ing the way and walk­ing beside us.
And as we ven­ture out into the world,
go with us and keep us safe
until we are able to return.
In Christ’s name,
Amen.
