Prayer for the New Year #3

The next line from the Northumbria prayer (click here) is:

Lord, I will trust you,
Help me to journey beyond the familiar
and into the unknown

The image posted a couple of days ago fits perfectly, so here it is again. This time, a new tune to go with it:

The Voyage of St Brendan (96K MP3; 8:20 mins; 5.4MB) Higher quality version available on request for non-commercial use in Christian worship, mission etc.

I often say that the last 6 years of ordained ministry have been one long voyage into the unknown, but that isn't the whole story. I realise I have surrounded myself with all kinds of comforts along the way, "safe places" if you like, where it is too easy to hide from the real world!

But that call is coming to me again from somewhere across the sea ... "come and follow me" ...

So, at the doorway of another year, a prayer ...

The year ahead stretches before us like the ocean
Wild, untamed, unknown.
May our trust in Him deepen enough
To climb aboard his purpose for us,
And let his current carry us deeper into him,
Into a life that really counts.

Pray it for me too!

Richard, how do you do the recording and downloading...

oh, don't tell me

it's an Apple thang

sigh, anyway of doing it with a PC?

other than selling it and buying...

Hi Caroline ... not sure I follow ...

To download on a PC you can right click, select "Save Target As ..." or you can just click on it but you'll have to wait for it to download before listening as I haven't set up "streaming" where it plays as it downloads.

Is that what you meant?

hi can I use some of your art work for a flyer that I am making. you don't seem to have a email that I can use to ask you on. it will be for a church youth event that I will be running.
the art work would be "Feeling Small Again"

Thanks
