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.
Song “How can I keep from singing”
We say the Lords Prayer in our own language
Psalm 116
For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
9 I walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
10 I kept my faith, even when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted”;
11 I said in my consternation,
“Everyone is a liar.”
Our prayers for those facing serious economic hardship, for Ukraine, for the Russian people, for people with Covid, for Yemen, Afghanistan, Myanmar, China, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Belarus, Russia, US, UK, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, Brazil, our own country, climate change, doctors and nurses, carers, teachers, those fighting injustice, our families and friends and ourselves…
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.
