Prayer for the Life's Journey

A prayer I wrote to be read in unison in church, inspired in part by Mark 1:14-20.



O God,

You are not only Parent,
but also Dispatcher, Guide, and Companion.
You have called us into being.
You have called us into becoming.
You have called us to new places and new missions.
We pray that we might be receptive and ready.
We recognize that sometimes
our fear, uncertainty, and pride
can stop us in our tracks
or lead us in the wrong direction.
Please remind us to communicate with You
often along the way:
to speak, and to listen.

Amen.
