SYNOD PRAYERS

Gracious and loving Father, You have commanded us that we

should be transformed by the renewing of our mind: search us
if there be any wandering, wavering Christian life in us; and
brand us with the inner brand marks of Your Son; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty Father, Whose Son Jesus Christ came down from

heaven and made His dwelling among us, leaving us an
example to follow: give us the same mind that was in Your Son,
that we may be changed into His likeness, from glory to glory,
who is alive and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever. Amen.
