Answer to Prayers: CoGS & ACC

To see what has come of the weekend meeting of CoGS see these two:

1) On the Issue of Attending the ACC in June

2) CoGS Message to the church

Are we encouraged? Are we satisfied? Are we aware that the Lord heard our prayers! The first two are personal, but the latter we know. Either way, whatever we think of the outcome, we have lifted up to our Lord our petitions and he hears us when we cry out. The direction we are to go is there, it is now back in the hands of General Synod to continue the process. Let us build up the Church and not knock members who love Christ down.

I quote from "Night Prayers" (ABC, page 61), and hope and pray that we take seriously the words in prayer... more is being said than goodnight:

"It is night after a long day.
What has been done has been done;
what has not been done has not been done;
let it be.

The night is dark.
Let our fears of the darkness of the world
and of our own lives rest in you.

The night is quiet.
Let the quietness of your peace enfold us,
all dear to us,
and all who have no peace.

The night heralds the dawn.
Let us look expectantly to a new day,
new joys,
new possibilities.
In your name we pray. Amen."
