Prayer for the Week — Sending Out
God of Resurrection Light,
you call us not only to receive your grace
but to carry it into the world.
As this new week begins,
send us out in the strength of your Spirit.
Send us out with open eyes
to notice those who need a listening ear.
Send us out with open hands
to offer help where burdens are heavy.
Send us out with open hearts
to share your compassion in ordinary places.
May our steps be guided by your wisdom,
our words shaped by your gentleness,
our actions rooted in your love.
Wherever we go —
into workplaces, homes, communities,
or quiet corners of daily life —
let us bear your light with humility and hope.
And as you send us,
remind us that we do not go alone:
Christ walks beside us,
the Spirit goes before us,
and your love surrounds us always. Amen.
