Evening Prayers September 11th 2020

 


 

In a world of great wealth

Where many are hungry

Many persecuted

Guide us into the way of hope, justice and love

 

Song “Be thou my vision”

Loving God, we are fragmented and conflicted, 

We speak of liberation and oppress

We speak of peace and are violent

Help us to love and not hate 

Even in these dark days. Amen

 

We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Romans 4

v17 As it is written...the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not".  


We pray tonight for those in lockdown, for those affected by the fire in the Lesbos camps, the high Covid numbers, for the people of Belarus, Syria, Yemen and Hong Kong, for the unrest in the US and the chaos in the UK 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.
