A Prayer for Community
Faith is not a matter of standing alone, but a road walked together. The promise to be present where two or three gather tells us a community is more than a meeting.
A prayer for community is the place where you reach beyond your own needs to hold those beside you. Bring to mind your church, your neighbors, the people you worship alongside, and ask for a love that looks out for one another. The prayer and verses below widen the heart that walks together.
