Monday, April 22
Let us pray for our Methodist brothers and sisters around the world who are serving as delegates to the General Conference of the United Methodist Church in Charlotte from April 23-May 3. May the Holy Spirit hover over each General Conference delegate, representing United Methodists from four continents.
Dear Lord, provide guidance as the world-wide delegation gathers to discern and determine the future for the global Methodist Church. Help them fellowship in your Spirit, worship in your truth and above all treat one another with grace. We pray that they may trust in the will of God and walk in love and unity, in confidence of God’s path set before them.
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
Thursday, April 25
Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for the eight clergy and eight lay delegates representing the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church at the General Conference of the United Methodist Church in Charlotte. We lift the Florida Conference Delegation up in gratitude and ask for Divine wisdom that they may discern Your will. Give them strength to build bridges, grace to listen more than they speak and openness to the work and movement of your Spirit. May unity replace divisiveness, love replace fear, and Your will replace their will. Guide their hearts in unity as they worship and serve together and keep them focused on their mission to make decisions for the global United Methodist Church and disciples of all people.
“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” Philippians 2:1-2
Monday, April 29
Good and Gracious God, we thank you for the work that has been done over this last week at the General Conference. For all of the delegates around the world who have given of themselves to be a part of this historic and formidable gathering, we give you thanks. As we watch the General Conference unfold, and as we see the work of the body, their passion, their faith, their convictions, we thank you that the United Methodist Church is diverse, and deep, and grace-filled. We embody these things, but we are not perfect, so continue to pour out your grace and presence as we face the future together as a vibrant family. Guide us in love to embrace one another in our common love for You and our beliefs as brothers and sisters in Christ that in spite of our differences, we all belong to You.
“….But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.” 1 Corinthians 12:24-25
