Prayers 4th May 2022,

We call on the power of God

To meet us in our helplessness

God in our thinking

God in our speaking

 

Song “Be still”

We call on the clarity of God

To meet us in our confusion

We call on the mercy of God

To meet us in our brokenness

God in our meeting, 

God in our parting. 

 

We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Isaiah 65

Behold, it is written before Me:
I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
I will even repay into their laps,
Both your own wrongdoings and the wrongdoings of your fathers together,” says the Lord.
“Because they have burned incense on the mountains
And scorned Me on the hills,
Therefore I will measure their former work into their laps.”

 

Song “The grace of God”

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, for our own country, for those facing climate change disasters, for those with Covid, for doctors and nurses, carers, 

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

 

When we are despairing and see no way ahead

Roll back the stone!

When we are frightened and fear for our life

Roll back the stone!

When we are hungry, thirsty and need shelter

Roll back the stone!

When we need a miracle to change our lives

Roll back the stone!
