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 my meeting, God in my parting.
Song “One thing I ask”
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
We call on the power of God
To meet us in our helplessness
God in our thinking
God in our speaking
Reading Revelation 21
" and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes"
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, 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
Song “My soul finds rest in God alone”
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
