Spirit of God
You are the breath of creation
The wind of change
Speak through my heart, my mind, my actions
Song “The Lords my shepherd”
Forgive me my closed mind
And break down the barricades of my heart
So I can embrace new ways of being
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Psalm 40
Blessed is the one
who trusts in God,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.
5 Many, my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare.
We pray for all those we know who need our help and prayers who we carry in our hearts today.
For the families of refugees drowned in the Mediterranean, for Ukraine and Russia, for Israel and Palestine, Sudan, Yemen, Hong Kong, China, Syria, Thailand, our own country, for those confronting injustice, and pressing issues of climate change, for those who are hungry, homeless, distraught, for the many refugees throughout the world, for those on strike, for the homeless, 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 “Great is thy faithfulness”
This is the day that God has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it
We will not offer to God
Offerings that cost us nothing
We will go in Peace
To love and serve the Lord
Amen
