Making Decisions: Prayer For Strategic Planning
Making Decisions: Prayer For Strategic Planning
Holy One,
We come to you today asking for your guidance, wisdom, and support as we begin this virtual consultancy meeting with
natcco.
Help us to engage in meaningful discussion; allow us to grow closer as a group and nurture the bonds of cooperativism.
Fill us with your grace, Lord God, as we make decisions that might affect the members, mgt, & staffs, committee officers,
and board of directors and the authorities. And continue to remind us that all that we do here today and Saturday Feb. 12,
all that we accomplish, is for the pursuit of truth for the greater glory of You, and for the service of humanity.
We ask these things in your name. Amen.
Matters of Business
Lord,
A Meeting of Minds
We offer salutations and respect to all present at this consultation meeting and
to all who will be affected by it.
We brush off the chairs on which we sit -
to make a clear space for a meeting of minds.
We brush off from our clothing any debris picked up on the way -
to clear our minds of extraneous matters.
We wipe the blood from our hands -
to acknowledge and apologize for any hurt we have inflicted.
We wipe the tears from our eyes -
to acknowledge and forgive any hurt we have received.
We take the lump out of our throats -
to let go of any sadness or disappointment.
We take the tightness out of our chests -
to let go of any fear or resentment.
We acknowledge and pray for guidance -
to the Great Creator Spirit of All Life
