Prayer as we begin our work today

In the name of our God who is three in one:

The Creator who calls us into existence,

The Christ who calls us to be of service to one another,

The Holy Spirit who calls us to new life,

We pray . . . Creator God, we are about to begin our work today, 

and we do so with the awareness that without your Divine Presence here at the center of our work, 

and also within ourselves, our work will be empty. 

Grace us with your Wisdom and Vision; 

gift us with Humor and Humility so that not only this meeting but all our lives

 may be a meeting place for your Kingdom. 

We ask this in Jesus' name. 

Amen.
