Prayer for the Diocese

Almighty God,
we give you thanks for the gift of this season of harvest and change.
Bless our diocese, its people, clergy, and leaders,
that together we may find joy in following Christ.

Grant us good weather, that the land may yield its fruit,
and keep us mindful stewards of all you have entrusted to us.
Pour out your Spirit of peace,
that we may live in harmony with one another,
and share your love in our communities.

Give us thankful hearts for daily blessings,
and the courage to serve you with gladness.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
