God our creator who goes before us
You draw us forward in faith
Like a pillar of fire across deserts
A rock of assurance
As we journey
Speak to us with your words of comfort and wisdom.
Song “Hallelujah sing”
God of love and forgiveness
Save us by your tenderness
From each deed that is destructive
From each act that grieves you
From each thought that is careless
From each idea that is unloving
From each word that hurts.
Help us to face up to your call on our lives, by creating love and
goodness, community, society where it has been broken. In Jesus Name, Amen.
broken. In Jesus Name, Amen.
We say Lords Prayer in our own language
Psalm 147
God heals the broken hearted
And binds up their wounds.
4 God counts the number of the stars;
and gives names to all of them.
5 Great is our God and abundant in strength;
His understanding is infinite.
6 God supports the afflicted;
and brings the wicked down to the ground.
We pray for the negotiations for peace in Gaza, for Israel, for peace in Ukraine, for Russia, for work to halt climate change, for the 100 million people who are displaced wandering around the globe looking for a new home and grieving the loss of their homeland, for the homeless, the hungry, the distressed. May God’s hand be upon us in these difficult times, your angels protect us and the Holy Spirit work in and around us. Amen
Song “We will walk with God my sisters”
Loving God help us to follow you
Into a place of quietness,
Where we may face beasts and wilderness
But we will know the presence of angels
Even in the desert times. Amen.
