I have a prayer ...

This prayer ended the contribution by young people at the end of the general secretary's speech at the WCC central committee

I have a prayer ...
May our gifts and talents be offered in a right way in God's mission.
May our youth be prepared in a better way - in order to be able to understand their mission and be used to serve in this time.

That the breath of the Holy Spirit be with us during this important meeting, embracing us with wisdom and giving us sensitive eyes and ears to his operation among us, giving light to face the future of teh WCC and the ecumenical movement in this century and holding our hands to follow his way. In times of crises, disillusion, despair, in the desert of this oppressive world may the Holy Spirit be the fresh cloud that leads in the day and the fire that leads us in the night, giving us strength, faith and hope to see God's plan for us.
