COMMUNITY PRAYER
Written by Bobbi Salkeld & Jeanne New

When we witness another person make a transition, it can highlight transitions in our own lives.

Transitions as we move to different phases of reopening in Calgary and the province.
Transitions in our families as we finish school years at a distance. 
Transitions in our relationships as we have been distanced for so long now. 

Together we hold the places of transition, things coming to an end, and things just beginning. 
Please join me in this community prayer for transitions.  

For those who are in the middle of so many contradictory feelings
For those who know the certainty of a good decision but feel the sadness mixed within it
For those who sense the freedom of what could be next but feel the loss of what they are leaving behind

We pray – 
May the love of Jesus steady you
And the Spirit enable you to grow 
As you navigate this season of transition and change

For those who are in the midst of letting go and moving on
For those who are pressing into new places of imagination and meaning
For those who sense a new season of expansion or deepening

We pray – 
May the love of Jesus steady you
And the Spirit enable you to grow 
As you navigate this season of transition and change

Finally 
For those choosing courage instead of fear in the face of a new chapter
For those insisting on trust instead of scarcity in uncertain times
For those who hold hope as they lean with care into what is coming next 

We pray – 
May the love of Jesus steady you
And the Spirit enable you to grow 
As you navigate this season of transition and change

Amen.
