Prayers 25/26th June 2021,



 

For the light of the sun on my face

I humbly thank you

And offer my praise to you

Open my heart and my mind 

Give me your presence

In the centre of my being today

Loving God move us to comfort those who are caught in war.

Those held captive

Those facing hatred and intolerance

For the over 60 million fleeing for their lives

For strangers in our lands

For those in refugee camps 

For those on dangerous journeys for safety

For their families

Melt our hard hearts to create welcome and change 

Amen

 

The Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Psalm 35

Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.
Take hold of buckler and shield
And rise up as my help.
Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me;
Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”
Let those be ashamed and dishonoured who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.
Let them be like chaff before the wind,
With the angel of the Lord driving them on.
Let their way be dark and slippery,
With the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
For they hid their net for me without cause;
Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.
Let destruction come upon him when he is unaware,
And let the net which he hid catch him;
Let him fall into that very destruction.

 

We pray for all those we know who need our help and prayers who we carry in our hearts today. For Hong Kong, Israel, Palestine, India, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Yemen, Myanmar, the Rohingyas, the Uyghurs, Nigeria, Belarus, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, the US, Afghanistan, our own country, doctors and nurses, carers, teachers, those confronting injustice, and pressing issues of climate change, for the many refugees, 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.

This is the day that God has made

I will rejoice and be glad in it

I will not offer to God

Offerings that cost me nothing

I will go in Peace

To love and serve the Lord

Amen
