Praying during the vacancy

The process of finding a new Team Vicar is continuing. There will be a new deadline for applications. We pray that there is an application from the person that the Holy Spirit has prompted and will be the one called to our parish.
For now we need to ensure that we are walking in the footprints our Lord leaves for us.
Let us pray!

Heavenly Father, we thank and praise you for your love for all people, and for all you give us. During our vacancy, we pray particularly for the person we believe in faith you have chosen to be our next Team Vicar. May that person respond gladly to your call, and work with us to grow your Kingdom here. While we wait, send us your Holy Spirit: help us to be patient, build us up in faith and love, and equip us to serve you well with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. These things we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen
