I found these prayers, posted in years past.–Jill
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for making Your face to shine upon this diocese, for its faithfulness, leadership, and prosperity. Bless them.
You led the children of Israel through the willderness by the pillar of fire and cloud. Lead this diocese today. Order their thoughts and words, their footsteps and actions. We ask for supernatural wisdom and discernment. Commission Your holy angels to surround and protect them from all assaults of the enemy. Amen.
God of heaven and earth,
The Diocese of South Carolina is passionate for You. They are Your sons and daughters. Make for them a coat of manifold wisdom. Adorn Bishop Mark Lawrence, the clergy of the diocese, and the worship leaders in the diocese with salvation and righteousness. Clothe Your people, holy and dearly loved, with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love.
Cast a garment of praise over them whem they come together. May Your name be magnified in all that they do and say. Amen.
