Prayer of the Week 8 January 2017

We thank you, God, that Jesus identified with us by being baptised himself.
He didn’t need to, but he wanted to.
We thank you that John did as Jesus asked, even though he didn’t really understand.
And then the Spirit came and revealed Him to us.
Today, we too come to the river praying with longing and open hearts.
Come to us, loving God, so we too can receive your spirit.

Amen
