Prayers 15th May 2024,

 


This is the day God has made

We will rejoice and be glad in it

We will not offer to God

Offerings that cost us nothing

We will seek peace and pursue it

Song “Broken for me”  https://youtu.be/8CKOvHDOdbY?feature=shared

We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language

 

Psalm 94

 

How long, Lord, shall the wicked—
How long shall the wicked triumph?
They pour out words, they speak arrogantly;
All who do injustice boast.
They crush Your people, Lord,
And afflict Your inheritance.
They kill the widow and the stranger
And murder the orphans.
They have said, “The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob perceive.”

 

We pray for peace in Gaza, for Israeli hostages, for peace in Ukraine, Russia, for Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen, for Hong Kong, China; for work to halt climate change, for the 100 million people who are refugees or asylum seekers, for the homeless, the hungry, the distressed. We pray for all who are anxious. Give them your peace and calm in their hearts. Have your hand upon us, our homes and our loved ones. Be with us all we pray this day and every day. Amen. 

 

Song “I the Lord of sea and sky” https://youtu.be/9xYRDAUMU68?feature=shared

 

God to enfold me

God to surround me

God in my sleeping

God in my waking

God in my watching

God in my hoping

God in my life

God in my soul

God in my heart
