This is a prayer we have been using in our evening worship
services. Each time I have prayed it, it
has seemed so right, so what the church ought to be.
Reshape us, good Lord,
Until in generosity,
Faith and full expectation,
We are truly Christ-like.
Make us passionate followers of Jesus
Rather than passive supporters.
Make our churches places of
Radical discipleship
And signposts to heaven,
Then, in us, through us,
And, if need be, despite us,
Let your kingdom come.
Amen.
The prayer is from “Evening
Liturgy E” in A Wee Worship Book by
Wild Goose Worship Group, 1999.
