Prayer for the Diocesan finance council meeting - 14 December 2021

Lord God, we come to you today in the midst of our Advent journey, in the midst of the challenges of the pandemic we are still enduring.  During Advent, we prepare a way for the Lord, we prepare for the coming of the Lord at his birth at Christmas, and we prepare for his coming at the end times. We give thanks for our Diocesan finance council members, for all their hard work to help guide our Diocese, for their advice in our finances and administration, and for their help in our mission here to serve the people of God in the Diocese of Jackson.  As we meet together today, most of us virtually, we ask for the presence of the Holy Spirit for wisdom in the decisions we make.  In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  AMEN.
