Prayer for the Week \u2014 Sending Out<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

God of Resurrection Light,<\/p>\n

you call us not only to receive your grace<\/p>\n

but to carry it into the world.<\/p>\n

As this new week begins,<\/p>\n

send us out in the strength of your Spirit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Send us out with open eyes<\/p>\n

to notice those who need a listening ear.<\/p>\n

Send us out with open hands<\/p>\n

to offer help where burdens are heavy.<\/p>\n

Send us out with open hearts<\/p>\n

to share your compassion in ordinary places.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

May our steps be guided by your wisdom,<\/p>\n

our words shaped by your gentleness,<\/p>\n

our actions rooted in your love.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wherever we go \u2014<\/p>\n

into workplaces, homes, communities,<\/p>\n

or quiet corners of daily life \u2014<\/p>\n

let us bear your light with humility and hope.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And as you send us,<\/p>\n

remind us that we do not go alone:<\/p>\n

Christ walks beside us,<\/p>\n

the Spirit goes before us,<\/p>\n

and your love surrounds us always. Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\n
