A prayer for new beginnings

Holy God, flowing Spirit,

throughout life you call us to new times and new adventures.

These can be uneasy times,.

Times of unknowing, fear, and worry.

They can also be times of hope, dreams, and expectations.

Adam and Eve stepped out of the garden unknowing what the future held.

Moses stepped towards a burning bush, not knowing how his life would be forever changed.

The people of Israel finished their meal, grabbed their staffs, and headed into the wilderness,

Called to something different and new—a whole new way of life.

The disciples each left their lives behind to follow one man they barely new.

They bravely stepped down the path to follow a new way.

God, you call us to new and different, but you walk beside us as we go.

May your spirit guide us on our paths and lead us to new ways.

May your word be carried to those far and near who are seeking a community.

May this ministry be a blessing and strengthening force in uncertain times.

May it be comforted in the journey of life.

And may it help others to grow in faith.

Amen
