Prayer of a new Reader

From the May 2021 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I pray, dear Father, that what is being heard is
Your Word
Your voice:
The cadence, tone, inflection of Soul 
guiding the reading of Your message this hour
and shepherding this congregation of seekers to You.
Amen.

—Kristen Behan
