**Opening Prayer:**
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the opportunity to gather in this meeting. We ask for Your presence to be felt among us, guiding our thoughts and actions. "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them." (Matthew 18:20 WEB). May Your wisdom fill us, and may Your Spirit lead us in all discussions and decisions.
Lord, we seek Your guidance and clarity. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." (James 1:5 WEB). Grant us the wisdom we need to make choices that honor You and serve the greater good.
We commit this meeting into Your hands, trusting that You will lead us in the way we should go. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
**Closing Prayer:**
Gracious God,
We thank You for being with us throughout this meeting. As we prepare to leave, we are grateful for the insights and decisions made here today. "The Lord bless you, and keep you. The Lord make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his face toward you, and give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26 WEB).
Lord, may the outcomes of this meeting be pleasing to You and beneficial to all who are impacted. Help us to carry forward the spirit of cooperation and unity that we have experienced here. "And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works." (Hebrews 10:24 WEB).
Thank You for Your guidance and for hearing our prayers. We ask for Your continued blessings and protection as we go our separate ways. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
