Relational God -
You teach us how to be Your church.
Help us hold each other to account with intentionality, direct communication, and the desire to regain our identities as Your beloved children.
Help us rely on our church communities for support, guidance, and nurturance.
Help us remember the power of our church communities for whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
May we bind our lives together as we loose love upon the earth. And may we feel Your presence among as we gather in Your name.
In the name of the One who does for us beyond what we imagine, we pray.
Amen.
