Church of England has produced the following prayer for us all to use.
God of hope,
in these times of change and
uncertainty,
unite our nation and guide our leaders
with your wisdom.
Give us courage to overcome our
fears and help
us to build a future in which all may
prosper and share:
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Prayer for Growth
God of Mission
Who alone brings growth to your
Church,
Send your Holy Spirit to give
Vision to our planning,
Wisdom to our actions,
And power to our witness.
Help our church to grow in numbers,
In spiritual commitment to you,
And in service to our local community,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
