Prayers 15th August 2023,

Spirit of God

You are the breath of creation

The wind of change

Speak through my heart, my mind, my actions

  

Loving God

Come into my confused and troubled life

And send your Spirit

To work in me 

To realign me

So that I may know 

You in my life

Your joy, your peace, your Shalom

 

We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Psalm 45

Strap Your sword on Your thigh, Mighty One,
In Your splendour and majesty!
And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness;
Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.
Your arrows are sharp;
The peoples fall under You;
Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies.

 

We pray for all those we know who need our help and prayers who we carry in our hearts today: for the families of those who died today trying to reach the UK,  people fleeing fires, war or flooding, for Ukrainian and Russian people,  for Palestinians and Israelis, 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, 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.

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
