Morning prayers 18th August 2020 晨禱2020年8月18日



For morning Light

I humbly thank you

And offer my praise to you

Open my heart and my mind 

And give me your presence

In my life today

Prayer for Gods help

 

Loving God

Come into my confused and troubled life

And send your Spirit

To work in me 

To realign me

So that I may know 

You in my life

Your joy, your peace, your Shalom

 

The Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Acts 26

 

19 “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. 20 First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds. 21 That is why some Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.22 But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen— 23 that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead,would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.”

 

Our Prayers

We pray for people and situations we are concerned about including the students and the exam chaos, desperate people crossing the sea in dinghies, continuing deaths from Covid 19, the ongoing unrest in Belarus, Hong Kong and Syria, the rise of fascism, the government, the Rohinga Muslims, Muslims being persecuted in China, protection for key workers and adequate PPE, protection for Black and Asian people, for people on low or no incomes, for those with underlying health conditions and those over 60, care for those who are alone and those suffering with depression, protection for asylum seekers and refugees and ensuring that food is reaching the vulnerable and global warming. 

Ending with…May we not fail you. Amen

 

Closing Responses

 

This is the day that God has made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

I will not offer to God

Offerings that cost me nothing

I will go in Peace

To love and serve the Lord

Amen

我們母語的主禱文

 

讀使徒行傳26

 

19因此,阿格里帕國王,我對天上的異像沒有不服從。 20我先對大馬士革的人,然後對耶路撒冷的猶太人和猶太人,然後對外邦人,教他們應該悔改並轉向上帝,並通過自己的行為表明他們的悔改。 21這就是為什麼有些猶太人在聖殿法庭上抓住我並試圖殺死我的原因。22但是直到今天,上帝幫助了我。所以我站在這裡,為大大小小的人作證。除了先知和摩西所的以外,我沒有過什麼。23彌賽亞將遭受苦難,作為第一個從死裡復活的人,將把光明的信息帶給他自己的人民和外邦人。

 

我們的祈禱

我們為關心的人和情況祈禱,包括學生和考試混亂,望的人在小艇中過海,Covid 19連續死亡,白俄羅斯,香港和敘利亞持續的動亂,法西斯主義的崛起,政府,羅欣加(Rohinga)穆斯林,在中國受到迫害的穆斯林,保護主要工人和適當的個人防護裝備,保護黑人和亞洲人民,收入低或沒有收入的人,具有基本健康狀況的人和60以上的人,照顧那些一個人和遭受抑鬱症的人,為尋求庇護者和難民提供保護,並確保糧食達到脆弱和全球變暖的地步。

結束於……願我們不辜負您。阿門

這是上帝創造的日子

愛與事奉主

阿門
