Prayers 23rd March 2022,

God our creator who goes before us

You draw us forward in faith

Like a pillar of fire across deserts 

A rock of assurance

As we journey 

Speak to us with your words of comfort and wisdom.

We say the Lords Prayer in our own language

 

Psalm 8v1-9

 

Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
You who have displayed Your splendour above the heavens!
From the mouths of infants and nursing babies 

You have established strength
Because of Your enemies,
To do away with the enemy and the revengeful.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have set in place;
What is human that You think of them,
And a child that You are concerned about them?
Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
You have him rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put everything under his feet,
All sheep and oxen,
And also the animals of the field,
The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

 

We pray for the people of Ukraine, for the Russian people, for Tigray, Hong Kong, for Taiwan, for Syrians, for Yemenis, for Palestinians, for the Rohingas, for Uighurs; For those suffering from flooding, drought earthquakes, and cyclones due to climate change, for the millions of refugees, for homeless people, for those who are hungry, thirsty or in prison, for the terrified and deranged; and for the government to do the best for its people and not the worst; for our children, grandchildren and a better future for us all.

 

May God’s hand be upon us in these difficult times, your angels protect us and the Holy Spirit work in and around us. Amen 

 

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.
