The primates of the Anglican Communion will be meeting on February 1.
Dear Heavenly Father,
How wonderful You are. Your word made the heavens. All the host of heaven was made at Your command–a ‘firework display’ that transcends time–an expanse of stars like a field full of flowers, the sliver of a silver moon with Jupiter shining bright. Your word resonates through the mysteries of quanta and wavelengths of light. The dark matter of space is filled with Your mystery. Such knowledge is beyond our understanding.
Yet we are not beyond Your presence. If we read Your holy word, You are there. If we make our bed in sin, we can still find You. There is no place we can escape from Your Holy Spirit, no pit beyond Your reach.
You bring the plans of the nations to nothing. You frustrate the counsels of the people. Only Your plans stand forever. Only Your counsel endures for all generations. Happy are those whose God is You.
Your eyes are turned toward those who fear You, toward those who hope for Your unfailing love, to deliver them from death, to keep them alive in famine. The Anglican Communion is in a dark valley, Lord. Deliver us from spiritual genocide. Keep Your church alive in the midst of spiritual famine.
We pray that the primates will fear You and trust in Your unfailing love, for only You can bring good out of evil. Only You can deliver us. We cannot deliver ourselves. Prepare their hearts for Your good work. Amen.
