One of my key highlights from 2013 was this prayer written and prayed out by 12 year old Calvin Strong of Saint Helens. In a one minute prayer – alongside 7 leaders from a wide spectrum of churches, Calvin captured the heart of prayer for Oneness and the hope of what the Church might be in the days ahead.. as you read this, would you pray along in agreement?
Father God,
I pray for our churches, that there will be unity between the generations.
Help us to build strong relationships in You, which demonstrate Your love, to others.
As we face challenges let us be ready to support each other and offer comfort in difficult times.
May we be accepting of each other’s experiences and individuality.
In the sharing of wisdom and talents help us to show respect.
Through Your power help us, as a church family, to bring faith and hope to those who have none.
In Your mercy hear our prayer.
(hear our prayer)
