Prayers 4th May 2023,

I call on the Spirit of God

To meet me in my helplessness

God in my thinking

God in my speaking

 

Song “My Jesus, my Saviour”

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

And help me not to contribute

To the brokenness of the world

God in my meeting, 

God in my parting. 

 

We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Matthew 10

16 "I am sending you out like sheep before wolves. Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves". 

Prayers for people and situations we are concerned about; for those living with war and conflict, in Sudan, Ukraine, Russia, Yemen, Palestine, Myanmar, Rohingyas, Uighurs, Hong Kong, China, Belarus, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, for our own country, for those facing climate change disasters, for those with Covid, for doctors and nurses, carers, teachers, for those confronting injustice, for refugees and the homeless, for elections in the UK, our families and friends and ourselves. May God’s hand be upon us, your angels protect us and the Holy 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!
