Prayers 28th August 2023,

In a world of great wealth

Where many are hungry

Many persecuted

Guide us into your way of hope, justice and love

 

Song “No longer slaves”

Loving God, we are fragmented and conflicted, 

We speak of liberation and oppress

We speak of peace and are violent

Help us to love and not hate 

Especially in these dark days. Amen

 

We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Reading Psalm 47

 

God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
    the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
    sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth;
    sing to him a psalm of praise.

 

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 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. May we not fail you. Amen

 

Song “Let your kingdom come”

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
