A Prayer in a Chariot

based on Acts 8:26-40

Faithful God,

That your Word extends to those traveling all roads,

those of all nations,

those of all races and ethnicities,

those of all sexualities and gender identities,

those of stature and those with none,

we give thanks.

May we embrace and be challenged by this good news,

and prevent no one from the waters of baptism.

Amen.
