Prayers 28/29th October 2021,


We humbly thank you for this day

Help us not to waste it

But offer our praise to you

Open our hearts and minds 

And give us your presence

To transform our lives and those around us today

 

Song “God I look to you”

We say the Lords Prayer in our own language

 

Psalm 56

 

I’m proud to praise God,
    proud to praise God.
Fearless now, I trust in God;
    what can mere mortals do to me?

12-13 God, you did everything you promised,

         and I’m thanking you with all my heart.
         You pulled me from the brink of death,
    my feet from the cliff-edge of doom.
         Now I stroll at leisure with God
    in the sunlit fields of life.

 

We pray for all those we know who need our help and prayers who we carry in our hearts today. For Afghans, for Syria, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Belarus, Ethiopia, Yemen, Gaza, our burning world and those dealing with the fires, for politicians to act on climate change, for all with Covid today and their families, doctors and nurses, carers, teachers, those confronting injustice, for the many refugees, our own country, our families and friends and ourselves. Spirit of the Living God be present with us.  Let your angels be beside us at this time. In Jesus Name we pray. 

Song “Holy Spirit living breath of God

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
