Prayer for Today 

God of love and power,

as  parent of all, you give us freedom to walk in our own way, yet you never stop

caring and loving;

you have shared our human existence, seen ,

heard and touched in the person of Jesus ;

grant us the gift of your Spirit, that we may know you alive  among us and within us,

 directing, empowering and perfecting us in your way.

Amen
