A Prayer of Hope: November 30

published on Nov 30, 2021

Let us pray:

God of Mercy, We seek you in the most unlikely places
We seek you in the safety of sanctuaries that have no need, and in the certainty of rules void of relationship
We seek you in cyberspace when our church doors are closed
We seek you as a child in a stable and in an empty tomb
May God meet us in our searching and fill our unlikely places with your love
Amen

Written by Rev. Traci D. Blackmon, associate general minister, justice and local church ministries

This prayer is part of a series of daily reflections for Advent 2021.
