Prayer Focus: For delegates to vote God’s will on every General Conference memorial.
Scripture: Romans 12:1-2
… but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern
what is the will of God. (v. 2, NRSV)
Lord, 14 times Wesleyans have gathered at General Conference to seek your good and acceptable and perfect will for The Wesleyan Church. Fourteen times, you have been faithful.
We humbly ask you to guide us again as we prepare for and gather at the 15th General Conference of The Wesleyan Church. Prompt us to pray for the outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon every aspect of the memorial process. This gathering will be futile without your presence and leading.
Thank you for Wesleyans from across the North American General Conference who have added input to the shaping of draft memorials for the 15th General Conference. May every word in every memorial be formed under the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
Thank you for the input from district superintendents informing General Board members responsible for recommending memorials to the 15th General Conference. May every memorial-related conversation reflect your will and no other’s agenda.
Thank you for the delegates seeking to discern your will when voting for memorials that better equip The Wesleyan Church to fulfill its mission. We pray you grant us wisdom, grace, courage, peace, joy and fortitude as the policies guiding our local, district and General Church ministries are decided.
Our lives are dedicated to fulfilling your will for The Wesleyan Church. May that dedication be reflected in the memorials approved at General Conference.
Lord, transform our hearts and minds so that only your will prevails. Amen.
Janelle Vernon
