Journey Prayer

This is the prayer we used in church on February 17. It comes from Christine Sine's Lenten Study "A Journey into Wholeness." (www.msainto.org or www.mustardseedjourney.wordpress.com)


An Invitation to Journey
Christine Sine

God you call us to journey
Into the deepest corners of our minds where we have allowed sin to accumulate
Into the hidden places of our hearts where we have been indifferent to the suffering of others
Into the empty and barren spaces of our lives where we have strayed from your truth
Christ you call us to journey
Towards each other so that we can live together in unity
Towards your world so we can be your servants of love
Towards the cross so that we can be transformed from death into life
Spirit you call us to journey
Guide our feet to paths of righteousness that we may follow you
Guide our hands to acts of mercy that we may serve you gladly
Guide our lives to truth and justice that we may celebrate you
God be with us on our journey
Give us courage to open our eyes so that we may see your love
Give us wisdom to open our ears so that we may that hear your voice
Give us insight to open our minds so that we may know your purpose
God be with us on our journey
