Praying for our Church (week 5)
Week 5
(Written by Wendy Countryman)
Prayer for families:
Lord,
Hands come in different sizes, big, little, narrow, wide. They come in different colors, too — ivory, caramel, coffee, olive, pink. Some hands can play a piano, other hands can play with the mud. Some hands can build with blocks, and some can build with brick. But everyone’s hands can wipe away a tear, touch a friend, fold in prayer. Everyone’s hands can do these things. So here are my hands, Lord, for you to use.
Prayer for Adults:
Lord,
Look at these hands, they have done so many things in this lifetime. They have played in the sand, clapped for joy, worked and served.
Now that these hands are old, what can they do? They can still wipe away a tear, stroke a child’s hair, touch a friend, fold in prayer.
Look at these hands, they have so much yet to do. Amen.
