[Lent & Beyond] Prayer for Church of England General Synod

The General Synod is in session.
1 Chronicles 15:22 (ESV)
Chenaniah, leader of the Levites in music, should direct the music, for he understood it.

1 Chronicles 15:27 (ESV)
David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the music of the singers. And David wore a linen ephod.

1 Chronicles 26:29 (ESV)
Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were appointed to external duties for Israel, as officers and judges.

CHENANIAH”“ literally “established by God”

Our Father in heaven,
Your Son told the woman at the well,

“True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

We cry out for true worshippers in the Church of England. We cry out for the General Synod to worship in spirit and in truth. We cry out for the General Synod to conduct its responsibilities in spirit and in truth. We cry out for the General Synod to vote in spirit and in truth.
Mantle the true worshippers in Your authority! We cry out for true worshippers to be established by God as officers and judges. We cry out for the Church of England to be established by God, established in God, established for God.
We pray this in the name of Your Son Jesus, who is the Truth. Amen.
