Prayers 11th March 2021,



God our creator who goes before us

You draw us forward in faith

Like a pillar of fire across desert wastes

A rock of assurance

As we journey 

Speak to us with your words of comfort and wisdom.

 

Prayer of confession

God of love and forgiveness

Save us by your tenderness

From each deed that is destructive

From each act that grieves you

From each thought that is careless

From each idea that is unloving

From each word that hurts.

Help us to face up to your call on our lives, by creating love and 

goodness, community, society where it has been broken. In Jesus Name, Amen.

 

The Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
You who have displayed Your splendour above the heavens!
From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established strength
Because of Your enemies,
To do away with the enemy and the revengeful.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have set in place;
What is human that You think of them,
And a child that You are concerned about them?
Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
You have him rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put everything under his feet,
All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,
The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

 

Our prayers for our Covid world, Yemen, Myanmar, China, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Belarus, Russia, US, UK, UAE, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, Australia, our own country, climate change, doctors and nurses, carers, teachers, those confronting injustice, our families and friends and ourselves…

May God’s hand be upon us, your angels protect us and the Holy Spirit work in and around us. Amen

Blessing

 

Loving God help us to follow you

Into a place of quietness,

Where we may face beasts and wilderness

But we will know the presence of angels 

Even in the desert times. Amen.
