Dear God,

When we look at our structures, our resources and our administration through our Constitution and By-laws, please do for us what we cannot do.

Heal our minds and change our life together.

Pave a way for us through darkness and into light.

We quiet our hearts to listen for your insight.

(moment of listening)

We are willing to walk on this new path with you.

Thank you.

Amen.
