The Prayer guide for the 8 days of General Assembly is offered to the PCUSA by the Presbyterian Lay Committee in partnership with Presbyterian Elders in Prayer.
This will be another LONG, intense day, as it is likely that this will also be the day when overtures dealing with same-sex marriage, and the Middle East divestiture will be presented for vote. Please lift up the commissioners, and pray for patience, understanding, and open hearts and minds, during the ninth, tenth and eleventh Plenary Business Meetings.
Grant me, O Lord, to know what I ought to know, to love what I ought to love, to praise what delights Thee most, to value what is precious in Thy sight, to hate what is offensive to Thee. Do not suffer me to judge according to the sight of my eyes, nor to pass sentence according to the hearing of the ears, but to discern with a true judgment between things visible and spiritual, and above all things always to inquire what is the good pleasure of Thy will. (Thomas A. Kempis)
