There is Power in Prayer
God answers our prayer in the perfect way at the perfect time. Please pray for us, and tell us how we can pray with and for you.
1 John 5:14 ``This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.``
A Prayer for the Cathedral Community
Gracious, gift-giving God, you call us each by name. We are your children. You tell us we are precious and glorious in your sight. To each of us you give an extraordinary destiny.
Warmed by these words of love we your people within this Cathedral community – our students, families, parishes, volunteers, schools, alumni, teachers, and staff – make bold to ask:
- Strengthen us when our faith and love grow faint;
- Fix us firmly upon the rock of your Word; teach us to build our schools upon this rock and not upon the uncertain sands of passing fancies.
You invite us to dwell in your tent so that you might refresh us with your presence and protect us from the heat and burdens of the day.
You remind us that all those involved in education truly inspire others for eternity.
Help us to know we live in a many-splendored world. May we contribute our labor to enhance its wonder.
And finally, prosper our journey to the shores of heaven where, as Saint Paul has promised, you will welcome us as full citizens.
Amen.
God Hears Us
To pray well is the better half of study. — Martin Luther
“No matter how hopeless a situation may appear to us, God gives us power in prayer to do something about it.”
