Prayer of the heron:
Keep me focused, Lord,
single-minded in your service.
Help me to fasten my eyes
on you and your kingdom,
and let nothing distract me from that end.

Prayer of the kingfisher:
You call me, Lord, to fish for people,
winning hearts for you,
but too often I leave it to others,
not knowing where to start.
Forgive me,
and, however ill-equipped I feel
help me to take the plunge.
