A STRENGTH NATIONAL PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH


Or God, we pray for thy Church among which you/he/she has put to-day the
the perplexities of an order of change, and it faces to face with a great
new assignment. We remember with love the breeding she gave ours
the spiritual life in his/her infancy, the assignments that she has put for growing our
strength, the influence of the affectionate hearts that she gathers the
to be able constant for good she has practiced. When we compare her/it to us with
all the other human institutions, we cheer there, for there anybody it is as
his/her. But when we judge her/it to us from the mind of his/her Master, we arch in
the pity and the contrition. Oh, you baptize afresh her in him the to life-give
Jesus's spirit! A new birth grants him, although it is with the
the suffering of repentance and humiliation. Gives on her a more
the imperious sensibility to the duty, a more rapid compassion with
suffering, and an absolute loyalty to the wish of God. Puts on her
lips the ancient Gospel of his/her God. Help him to audaciously proclaim
the arrival of the Kingdom of God and the decree of that whole reserve
it. Fills her with the contempt of the prophets of the tyranny, and with a
Christ-how tenderness for the heavy-load and in down-trodden. Gives
his/her faith to marry himself/herself/themselves the cause of the people, and in their hands
that gropes after the liberty and it turns on to recognize the hands of hemorrhage
of the Christ. Offers his/her cessation to seek his/her his/her own life, so that not her
lose him/it. Does her brave to abandon his/her life to humanity that
as her God to which she can climb on from the run of the cross it crucified
a taller glory.
