Holy Spirit, breath of God
Breathe on me
Guide me, strengthen me, console me
As I come before you
Song “Come as you are”
As I come before you Creator God
May my prayers rise up to you
And your blessings rain down upon me
Come Holy Spirit, awaken
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Psalm 30
“Hear, Lord, and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper.”
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;
You have untied my sackcloth and encircled me with joy,
12 That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
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, Ukraine, Russia, Yemen, Syria, Palestine, Myanmar, the Rohingyas, the Uighurs, for Hong Kong, for China, for Taiwan, Myanmar, 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 “Love will never fail”
Put fire in my heart
And sends me your Spirit
Renew my hopes and dreams
Remind me that a new way is always possible
In life, in death and beyond death
God is always with us.
There is always hope.
Amen.
Song “Such an Awesome God”
