Prayers 14/15th May 2021,


 

Thank you for the day you have gifted me

I offer my praise and thanks to you

Open my heart and my mind 

To your Spirit

And give me your presence

In my life today

Loving God

I often get it wrong

Send your Spirit

To work in me

To realign me

So that I may know 

Your joy, your peace, your shalom

 

The Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Ephesians 6

 

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.13 Therefore, take up the full armour of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.14Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,15and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace;16in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

 

We pray for all those we carry in our hearts. 

 

For Israel, Palestine, Columbia, India, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Yemen, Myanmar, the Rohingyas, the Uyghurs, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Belarus, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, the US, our own country, climate change, doctors and nurses, carers, teachers, those confronting injustice, our families and friends and ourselves…

 

Spirit of the Living God present with us now enter our bodies, minds and spirits and heal us of all that harms us. Let your angels be beside us at this time. In Jesus Name we pray.
