- Feel free to pray this prayer over the group:
Lord, help us, for we are often lukewarm and chill; unbelief mars our confidence, sin makes us forget thee.
Let the weeds that grow in my soul (or the “scaffolding we erect) be cut at their roots;
Grant me to know that I truly live only when I live to thee, that all else is trifling.
Thy presence alone can make me holy, devout, strong and happy.
Abide in me, gracious God. (Adapted from The Valley of Vision, p. 129)
