Prayer for the Diocese from anglicanprayer.wordpress.com

The following was posted on Lent & Beyond recently.  Appropriate for us all to see, and know that others are praying for us. 

The diocese of San Joaquin is undergoing a great transition.  I think it good to lift them up in prayer regularly.   A previous post is here.O God,

You have spoken to Your people at many times and in many ways.  We ask for this blessing for Your servants in San Joaquin–the blessing of receiving and believing Your word.  Stir in them a hunger for Holy Scripture.

You have spoken to Your people by Your Son, through whom You made the universe.  We ask for this blessing for Your servants in San Joaquin–the blessing of receiving and believing the Word Incarnate.  Stir in them a hunger for prayer.

He has provided the final sacrifice for our sins and is seated at Your right hand, O God.  We ask this blessing for Your servants in San Joaquin–the blessing of receiving and believing the Body and Blood of the Lamb.  Stir in them a hunger for Holy Communion. 

Your Son is the radiance of Your glory and the exact representation of Your being.  As they receive Him through Holy Scripture, prayer, and Holy Communion, may they believe and be sustained in His name.  Amen.
