A Denver Book of Prayer

On Sunday, November 1st, Fellowship Denver released A Denver Book of Prayer. This collaborative writing project involving writers from Fellowship and 11 other urban churches/ministries (envisioned and realized by Urban Skye, a local not-for-profit) is a daily guide to praying that follows the Christian calendar. “We’ve been captured by the picture of twelve different faith communities praying the same prayers each day and actually allowing another community of faith to be their guide throughout the year,” Dave Meserve, TITLE of Urban Skye, explains in the book’s introduction.

If you were lucky enough to snatch one of 100 copies that first day of November, we hope you are finding new ways to incorporate prayer into your daily life. Using a prayer book is one way to respond to what we are studying in Philippians—to know God and the power of his resurrection, becoming like him, and making him your own because he has made you his own (from Philippians 3:10, 12). In A Denver Book of Prayer, you may have noticed that scattered throughout the month of November are prayers that flow from Philippians 1:6, “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

Here is the prayer from November 14th: He who has begun a good work in you, will complete it. Philippians 1:6

Almighty and everlasting God, by your will are all things established. You create, bless and uphold all things. May we submit to your perfect assembly process. Help us relinquish our ineffective control and need for instant wholeness. We acknowledge your sovereignty, our brokenness, and delight in your goodness.
