Spirit of God
You are the breath of creation
The wind of change
Speak through our thoughts and dreams tonight
Song “God not guns”
Forgive us our closed minds
And break down the barricades of our hearts
So we can embrace new ways of being
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Acts 23
25 He wrote a letter as follows: 26 Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix:
Greetings. 27 This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came with my troops and rescued him, for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen. 28 I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin. 29 I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law, but there was no charge against him that deserved death or imprisonment. 30 When I was informed of a plot to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers to present to you their case against him.
Prayer
We pray tonight for the people of Beirut and all those we know who need our help and prayers who we carry in our hearts tonight.
Spirit of the Living God present with us now enter their bodies, minds and spirits and heal them of all that harms them. Let your angels be beside them at this time and protect them. In Jesus Name we pray.
Closing Responses
In the depth of silence
No words are needed
We are just called to listen
To the movement of the Spirit
And in the midst of confusion
To hear your voice.
Amen.

晚上祈禱2020年8月5日
神的靈
你是創造的氣息
變革之風
今晚通過我們的思想和夢想說話
歌曲“上帝不是槍”
https://youtu.be/xtl2ugNcFfk
原諒我們封閉的思想
打破我們內心的障礙
因此,我們可以擁抱新的生活方式
我們用自己的語言說主禱文
閱讀使徒行傳23
25他寫了一封信如下:26克勞迪烏斯·萊西亞斯,菲利克斯州長閣下:
問候。 27這個人被猶太人抓住,他們要殺了他,但我隨部隊一起營救了他,因為我知道他是羅馬公民。 28我想知道他們為什麼要指控他,所以我把他帶到他們的山黑德林。 29我發現,指控與他們的法律問題有關,但沒有應訴他應受死刑或監禁的指控。 30當我得知要對該人實施陰謀時,我立即將他送給你。我還命令他的原告向您提出他們對他的起訴。
禱告
今晚,我們為所有認識的需要祈禱的人祈禱,並今晚在心中進行祈禱。
與我們同在的永生上帝的靈現在進入他們的身體,思想和精神,並醫治所有傷害他們的事物。此時,讓您的天使在他們旁邊並保護他們。我們奉耶穌的名祈禱。
結束回應
在寂靜的深處
無需說話
我們只是被要求聽
為了聖靈的運動
在混亂中
聽到你的聲音。
阿們
