Prayers 8th 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

 

Lamentations 3v33-36

 

 For He does not afflict willingly
Or grieve humankind.
34 To crush under one’s feet
All the prisoners of the land,
35 To deprive a person of justice
In the presence of the Most High,
36 To defraud someone in their lawsuit—
Of these things the Lord does not approve.

 

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 

 

Song “Great are you Lord”

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.
