Spirit of God
You are the breath of creation
The wind of change
Speak through our thoughts and dreams tonight
Song “Abide with me”
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
Five days later the high priest Ananias went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, and they brought their charges against Paul before the governor. 2 When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: “We have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and your foresight has brought about reforms in this nation. 3 Everywhere and in every way, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with profound gratitude.4 But in order not to weary you further, I would request that you be kind enough to hear us briefly.
Prayer
We pray tonight for 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6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“遵守我”
https://youtu.be/MmtRlEIIZnQ
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
五天后,大祭司亞納尼亞斯與一些長老和一位名叫特圖魯斯的律師一起去了凱撒利亞,他們將對保羅的指控帶到了州長的面前。 2當保羅被召進來時,特圖魯斯向費利克斯介紹了他的情況:“我們在您的帶領下享有長期的和平,您的遠見帶來了這個國家的改革。 3到處都是,以最出色的費利克斯(Felix)致以最深切的感謝。4但是為了不讓您進一步感到疲倦,我要求您足夠友好地聽取我們的簡短講話。
禱告
今晚,我們為貝魯特和我們認識的所有需要祈禱的人祈禱,並祈禱我們今晚發自內心的祈禱。
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
