Father, the service is over, but we do not want to leave the same as we came. As we scatter to our homes and routines, equip us by Your Spirit to live out what we have heard. Let the songs keep echoing and the truth keep working in us all week. Make us salt and light in the places You send us — at our jobs, our schools, our streets. Watch over everyone driving and walking home. Bless the children who were taught, the visitors who came, and any who are leaving with a decision stirring in them. Send us out in Your peace and power, Father, and bring us back together ready to worship again. Amen.
A prayer for you
