Almighty God, we acknowledge with gratitude your guidance in the past. As we now turn to you, may your love fill our hearts and may your light guide our steps in the search for the 10th Bishop of the Diocese of Newark. Grant us the wisdom to find a faithful pastor with a heart open to you, a mind to discern your purpose, and a will to persevere. May your Spirit guide us; may your love enfold us; may your wisdom inspire us in our search process; through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.

– The Rev. Jacob David
Rector, St. Paul’s and Resurrection Episcopal Church
