Prayer Service of Lament

Composed by Dr. Justus Ghormley
Searching for a new bishop may be a source of sorrow or pain. This service of lament invites the diocese to bring to Jesus, in prayer, any sense of sorrow, disappointment, or pain from the past that we may have so that we might find healing and forgiveness.  These prayers are designed to allow us to lament losses and griefs before we can clearly discern with a clean heart.
