Prayers 12th 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

 

Luke 18v1-7

 

Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not become discouraged,saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect any person. Now there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my opponent.’ For a while he was unwilling; but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect any person, yet because this widow is bothering me, I will give her justice; otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.’” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge *said; now, will God not bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night, and will He delay long for them? 

 

Our prayers for our Covid world, and for 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.
