We thank you for the morning Light
We begin and end our day by praising and thanking you
Open our hearts and our minds
To your Spirit
Song “Spirit of the Living God”
Loving God
We often get it wrong
Come within us
And heal and forgive us
So that we may know
Your joy and your peace
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Wisdom 7
I too am a mortal, the same as all the rest, and a descendant of the first one formed of earth. And in my mother’s womb I was molded into flesh
We pray for people and situations we are concerned about; for those living with war and conflict, Ukraine, Russia, Yemen, Palestine, Myanmar, Rohingyas, Uighurs, Hong Kong, Belarus, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, for heat waves in India, for those facing climate change disasters, for our own country, for those with Covid, for doctors and nurses, carers, for refugees and the homeless for those hungry, and tormented.
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.
Song “Praise in the Storm”
God to enfold me
God to surround me
God in my sleeping
God in my waking
God in my watching
God in my hoping
God in my life
God in my soul
God in my heart
