two years to pray

I know that it may seem to many that two years won't solve the problem that is facing the Church of Scotland.  Many believe that it will still result in a split, and maybe it will.  However there is one thing other than breathing space that the special commission has given us - it has given us two years to pray. 

Prayer is the most fundamental part of being a Christian and as a church if we stopped talking and discussing and just spent time in silent prayer to God, then maybe miracles would happen.  God has blessed us with two years space.  Now we can either waste it by arguing about our views or we can pray and seek God with all our hearts.  

We have also entrusted a huge amount to the Special Commission - in many ways the future unity of our church - and so we need to keep them in our prayers during these next two years.

May God bless us as we turn our hearts and minds to prayer ...
