The author Frederick Buechner once defined ‘vocation’ as “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” I think I’m living that definition.
I’ve spent the last three decades studying, pastoring, teaching and writing about worship, looking for ways to strengthen and deepen our corporate conversations with God. I’m still not sure how I landed up on this journey, but I’ve never been able to escape the conviction that this is where God wants me, and this is the work I need to be doing.
Opening prayer for a meeting (a prayer suitable for a bible study, worship meeting or church service) Lord, May your goodness and love be present amongst us today. Come bless our gathering with unity, hope and vision. Lord, we pray for unity. Build in us all a deep respect for one another so that your church may be one. Lord, we pray for hope.
Come stir your hope within our hearts and renew our faith. Lord, we pray for vision.
May your vision fill our lives as we seek to reveal your love. We ask all this in the glorious name of Jesus. Emceeing a program.
