God who calls us into being and leads us forward, I pray for the Covenant Presbyterian Church in Southfield MI. Speak to us as a part of the body of your Son, Jesus Christ, and help us to hear your call to us in the community. We want to know what you and your people need from us, and how we can best serve, given our gifts, skills and talents. Empower us to fulfill your calling to us as fishers of people, give us courage to do what you require, and send us out into the Southfield Sea. Help us to set aside our fears and anxiety and seek to form relationships in the community, working for justice and equality for all your people. Guide our leaders and our decision-making so that we might march boldly into the future you have set out for us, following your Son into the city to serve your people. Strengthen us to do your will, love your people and serve where we are planted. In Christ's name I ask it. Amen.

Michelle JamesI'm a wife, mom, pastor, human...probably not in that order. I struggle each day to be faithful to God, to my family and to my call as a Christian and all of those previously-mentioned roles. I pray to be positive, kind and thoughtful, but tend to fall short on all counts. I am inspired by sunrises and enjoy taking pictures (mostly my kids, deer in the yard and sunrises). I waste time playing stupid computer games and wishing I'd been better at all of the aforementioned roles. ;-) Archives
