Creator God I come before you
And seek your peace
Let me be still in your presence
The Holy One who is here
Song “Holy Spirit”
As I come before your throne
Bow down before you
May my prayers rise up to you
And your blessings rain down upon me
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Psalm 28
Do not drag me away with the wicked
And with those who practice injustice,
Who speak peace with their neighbours,
While evil is in their hearts.
4 Give back to them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices;
Give back to them according to the work of their hands;
Repay them what is due them.
5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord
Nor the deeds of His hands,
He will tear them down and not build them up.
We pray for all those we know who need our help and prayers ….and the many others we carry in our hearts.
We pray for all those we know who need our help and prayers ….and the many others we carry in our hearts…for sustainable action on climate change, for people crossing in small boats, 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.
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 “Lead kindly Light”
Put fire in our hearts
And sends us your Spirit
To renew our hopes and dreams
To remind us that a new way is always possible
In life, in death and beyond death
God is with us.
In Jesus Name we pray
Amen.
