Let us pray,
Creator and recreator God
For everything there is a season,
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to sew and a time to harvest.
Bless us we pray as we give thanks for the things which have passed, for endeavours and missions which have served their purpose and time.
Help us to see endings not as failure but as celebrations and beginnings not as threat but as opportunity.
Creator and recreator God
For everything there is a season,
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to sew and a time to harvest.
Bless us we pray as we grieve for opportunities lost, for chances not taken. Guide us as we plan our next steps with you, neither following our old ideas nor throwing out all we did accomplish
Creator and recreator God
For everything there is a season,
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to sow and a time to harvest.
Bless us we pray as we gather what is ready to harvest and give us patience we pray as we look at the soil in which your seed still slumbers.
Remind us daily, hourly and minute by minute, that this is your time and what seems like an eternity to us is but a blink of your eye
Creator and recreator God who said "I am doing a NEW thing!" We offer this prayer in the name of the one who sits on the throne and said "Behold I am making all things NEW",
Jesus Christ, we pray.
Amen
