A Prayer for Sunday, May 18, 2014

Fifth Sunday of Easter

O God,

Thank you for
the new beginning
that each day brings.

Thank you for
the new beginning
above all beginnings—
the resurrection of Jesus Christ—
of which each Sunday reminds us.

Thank you for
the privilege of
worshipping you,
the God of new beginnings.

Thank you that
today may bring
the new beginning
that we need.

Thank you that
today may inspire us
to help others
find the new beginning
that they need.

Amen.
