Spirit of God
You are the breath of creation
The wind of change
Speak through our thoughts and dreams tonight
Song “Come thou fount”
Forgive me my closed mind
And break down the barricades of my heart
So I can embrace new ways of being
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Acts 26
24 At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind, Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning is driving you insane.”
25 “I am not insane, most excellent Festus,” Paul replied. “What I am saying is true and reasonable. 26 The king is familiar with these things, and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”
Prayer
We pray tonight for those who have not got the grades they needed for university, for the people of Belarus and all those we know who need our help and prayers who we carry in our hearts tonight.
Spirit of the Living God present with us now enter their bodies, minds and spirits and heal them of all that harms them. Let your angels be beside them at this time and protect them. In Jesus Name we pray.
Closing Responses
In the depth of silence
No words are needed
We are just called to listen
To the movement of the Spirit
And in the midst of confusion
To hear your voice.
Amen.

晚上祈禱2020年8月18日
神的靈
你是創造的氣息
變革之風
今晚通過我們的思想和夢想說話
歌曲“來吧”
https://youtu.be/EYrTqBioaZ4
原諒我閉著心
打破我內心的障礙
所以我可以擁抱新的生活方式
我們用自己的語言說主禱文
閱讀使徒行傳26
24此時,費斯托斯打斷了保羅的防守。 “保羅,你瘋了!”他喊道。 “您的出色學習使您發瘋。”
25“我不是瘋子,最出色的Festus,”保羅回答。 “我的意思是真實和合理的。 26國王熟悉這些事,我可以自由地對他說話。我堅信,這一切都沒有逃過他的注意,因為這不是在角落裡做的。 27阿格里帕國王,您相信先知嗎?我知道你知道。”
禱告
今晚,我們為那些未達到大學所需成績的人,白俄羅斯人民以及我們所知道的需要幫助和祈禱的人們祈禱。
與我們同在的永生上帝的靈現在進入他們的身體,思想和精神,並醫治他們所有傷害他們的東西。此時,讓您的天使在他們旁邊並保護他們。我們奉耶穌的名祈禱。
結束回應
在寂靜的深處
無需說話
我們只是被要求聽
為了聖靈的運動
在混亂中
聽到你的聲音。
阿們
