Evening Prayers September 4th 2020



 

 

In a world of great wealth

Where many are hungry

Many persecuted

Guide us into the way of hope, justice and love

 

Song “Just be held”

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 2v6 God will repay each person according to what they have done

 

Prayer 

 

We pray tonight for those in lockdown, for those who have not got the grades they needed for university, 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.
