Jane Hincks, Bismarck Legacy UMC, Dakotas Conference co-lay leader, invites United Methodists in the Dakotas in Praying Our Forward.

Dear Heavenly Father, Help us to put aside our earthy biases, thoughts and feelings so that we can truly discern what you have called us to do according to Your Word. Grant us the peace of God which surpasses all understanding to guard our hearts and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Let us freely love one another as Christ has first loved us. As it is only with the love of Christ extended to our neighbors that we can come together and move forward in unity on whatever decisions are made. We pray this in Your Holy Name. Amen.
