A Prayer About Moving

Vol. 20 No. 22 | May 28, 2018

Father,

As we prepare to make a change of our physical address, I ask these things:

That You constantly remind us of Your presence and continue to guide us on our next journey, just as You have guided us through all of our past ones.

That You help us keep our eyes and ears open to new opportunities to love, encourage, and show the same gentleness and kindness to others as You have shown to us.

That You remind us that all change, even change we initiate, brings some pain and new challenges. But it also brings new adventures.

That You continue to protect and encourage the people we are leaving behind, fill the void that will come while we are apart, and assure them that our hearts and friendship will never be absent.

That You remind us that physical distance is nothing in comparison to the closeness we feel by our union through Your Spirit, and that this distance is only temporary.

That You fill us with Your Spirit as we move into new places, work environments, and arenas so that we may demonstrate the fullness of Your love to those we meet.

That You fill us with the same sense of generosity and hospitality toward others as others have always shown us.

That You constantly remind us that we are never alone and help us provide comfort to others when they feel alone.

That You develop within us the ability to be living expressions of Your Spirit so that others may see You when they see us.

That You accept our thanks for all that You have done, for all the people You have allowed us to love and be loved by in return, and for the joy that we have experienced throughout our journey.

“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” (Philippians 4:5)
