Prayer for Lambeth!

From Lent and Beyond:

Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.”
Joshua 3:5 (NIV)

O Lord, teach us today what You would have us do to purify ourselves. We beseech You to perform amazing things in the Anglican Communion tomorrow. Commission Your Son Christ Jesus, raised from the dead, to drive out the demonic forces that have laid claim to Your church. He has been given all authority in heaven and on earth, and we will know that He is among us, when His priests step out in faith. Amen.
Joshua 3:1-13, Matthew 28:18

All of Lent & Beyond’s Lambeth prayers and resources are here.

One of my favorite quotes:
There is no power like that of prevailing prayer - of Abraham pleading for Sodom, Jacob wrestling in the stillness of the night, Moses standing in the breach, Hannah intoxicated with sorrow, David heart-broken with remorse and grief, Jesus in sweat and blood. Add to this list from the records of the church your personal observation and experience, and always there is cost of passion unto blood. Such prayer prevails. It turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God. ...Samuel Chadwick
