Thank you for the day you have gifted me
I offer my praise and thanks to you
Open my heart and my mind
To your Spirit
And give me your presence
In my life today
Loving God
I often get it wrong
Send your Spirit
To work in me
To realign me
So that I may know
Your joy, your peace, your shalom
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Psalm 26
Lord, I love the dwelling of Your house,
And the place where Your glory remains.
9 Do not take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity;
Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 My foot stands on level ground;
In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
We pray for all those we know who need our help and prayers ….and the many others we carry in our hearts.
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.
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. Amen

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
