For the light of the sun
I humbly thank you
And offer my praise to you
Open my heart and my mind
Give me your presence
In my life today
Song “Psalm 91”
Loving God
Come into my confused and troubled life
Send your Spirit
To work in me
Realign me
So that I may know
You in my life
Your joy, your peace, your Shalom
The Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Psalm 33
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their [a]lights.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together [b]as a heap;
He puts the depths in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it [c]stood firm.
10 The Lord nullifies the plan of nations;
He frustrates the plans of peoples.
11 The plan of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen for His own inheritance.
We pray for all those we carry in our hearts.
For the families of refugees killed in Greece, for the families of people killed in Nottingham, for Ukraine and Russia, for Israel and 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.
Song “The Lord is my salvation”
This is the day that God has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
I will not offer to God
Offerings that cost me nothing
I will go in Peace
To love and serve the Lord
Amen
