A Prayer at the Start of a New Chapter
Posted by Wallace+
Following is a prayer written by the Rev. Ted Ferris, who served as Rector of Trinity, Copley Square,
in Boston, for 30 years. A friend and fellow priest shared it with me
just today. A fitting prayer for us as individuals, and well as for us
as the Diocese of Virginia, at the start of a new and promising chapter
in our lives. Dear Lord, lead us on!..
"Lord, if it is you, ask me to come to you on the water." And Jesus said, "come."
O God, give us the will and the desire to launch out into deep waters, and to aim for goals that are high and difficult; make us responsive to great things when they call us; when our own powers are inadequate, show us where to turn for the help we need. These things we ask in trust and confidence in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
