Spirit of God
You are the breath of creation
The wind of change
Speak through our thoughts and dreams tonight
Song “Great is thy faithfulness”
Forgive us our closed minds
And break down the barricades of our hearts
So we can embrace new ways of being
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Acts 23
20 He said: “Some Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul before the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about him. 21 Don’t give in to them, because more than forty of them are waiting in ambush for him. They have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him. They are ready now, waiting for your consent to their request. 22 The commander dismissed the young man with this warning: “Don’t tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
Prayer
We pray tonight for 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.

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“偉大是您的忠誠”
https://youtu.be/2eQ1oal44wU
原諒我們封閉的思想
打破我們內心的障礙
因此,我們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23
20他說:“有些猶太人同意要求你明天將保羅帶到Sanhedrin面前,藉口是要獲得有關他的更準確的信息。 21不要屈服於他們,因為其中有40多個正在為他埋伏。他們宣誓要殺了他才不吃不喝。他們現在準備就緒,等待您同意他們的請求。 22司令官警告說:“不要告訴任何人你已經向我報告了這件事。”
禱告
今晚,我們為所有認識的需要祈禱的人祈禱,並今晚在心中進行祈禱。
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,並醫治所有傷害他們的事物。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
