🕊️ Prayer forRegional Assembly (of 2 Corinthians 5:17–18)
God of all things,
You are the Giver of every good gift...
the Maker of what is seen and unseen,
the One who calls us not to cling to what was,
but to walk boldly into what is being created among us.
We give thanks for the congregations, leaders, and ministries
of the emerging Living Waters Region.
We give thanks for their presence and witness,
for the ways they serve,
for the stories they carry,
for the hope they are planting in their neighborhoods and in our shared life.
As we prepare to gather as an Assembly,
remind us that we are participating in your work of wholeness.
We are discerning how to receive what you have already given.
We are claiming the new life already breaking forth.
We are trusting that your goodness will guide us into the Land of the Living.
All this comes from you.
So make us brave.
Make us open.
Make us whole.
Let the work of our hands and hearts reflect the movement of your Spirit.
In the name of Christ, in whom we have been made a new creation, we pray.
Amen.
