Prayers 20th June 2022,

I call on the clarity of God

To meet me in my confusion

I call on the mercy of God

To meet me in my brokenness

God in our meeting 

God in our parting

 

Song “I lift my eyes”

As I come before you

I lift my eyes

May my prayers rise up to you 

And your blessings rain down upon me

Come Holy Spirit, dry bones awaken

 

We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Psalm 31

 

How great is Your goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have performed for those who take refuge in You,
Before the sons of mankind!
20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of mankind;
You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord,
For He has shown His marvelous faithfulness to me in a besieged city.
22 As for me, I said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from Your eyes”;
Nevertheless You heard the sound of my pleadings
When I called to You for help.

 

We pray for all those we carry in our hearts. 

 

For the asylum seekers awaiting deportation, for Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Palestine, Yemen, Myanmar, the Rohingyas, the Uyghurs, Hong Kong, Belarus, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, the US, our own country, doctors and nurses, carers, teachers, those confronting injustice, and pressing issues of climate change, for the many refugees, our families and friends and ourselves…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. 

 

Put fire in my heart 

And sends me your Spirit

Renew my hopes and dreams

Remind me that a new way is always possible

In life, in death and beyond death

God is always with us. 

There is always hope.

Amen.
