PNC PRAYER

Holy God, you know all things good for
us, and your Holy Spirit leads us in your
way.  Guide the members of this
committee to the one you have prepared
to serve your people.  Open their minds
to discern your will and their hearts to
consider all candidates fairly.  Give them
the strength and endurance equal to the
commitment they now make; mutual love
and patience in the work that lies ahead.

We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our
Lord, Amen.
