Thank you for the day you have gifted me
I offer my praise and thanks to you
Open my heart and my mind
To your Spirit
And give me your presence
In my life today
Song “Hallelujah even here”
Loving God
I often get it wrong
Send your Spirit
To work in me
To realign me
So that I may know
Your joy, your peace, your shalom
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Isaiah 62v8
On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
We pray for people and situations we are concerned about; for sustainable action on climate change, for Sudan, the Ukraine, Russia, Yemen, Syria, Palestine, Myanmar, the Rohingyas, the Uighurs, for Hong Kong, for China, Belarus, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Afghanistan, for our own country, for those with Covid, for doctors and nurses, carers, for those on strike, for refugees and the homeless and those hungry, and tormented… and for those we carry in our hearts.
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 “No longer slaves”
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
