Going on a Gap Year
May God stride out before you on your journey
through life
and through prayer.
May Jesus, your playful brother,
pace you in his holy way to the end.
May the Holy Spirit greet you at
Each corner and cuddle you to her breast.
Siân Swain Taylor, Wales. Prayers Encircling the World.
Lord God, you call everyone to follow you
and to give freely of their time and gifts.
Bless all who respond to your generous love
through voluntary service in the church and wider community.
May the lives that are transformed
be enriched by these signs of your grace in action,
and be stirred to songs of thankfulness and praise
for your outpouring of love through human lives;
to the honour and glory of Jesus Christ
our inspiration and Saviour. Amen.
Ian Black, Prayers for all Occasions.
