In a world of great wealth
Where many are hungry
Many persecuted
Guide us into the way of hope, justice and love
Song “There is a hope”
Loving God, we are fragmented and conflicted,
We speak of liberation and oppress
We speak of peace and are violent
Help us to love and not hate
Even in these dark days. Amen
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Romans 2 21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery?
We pray tonight for those in lockdown, for those affected by the stabbings in Birmingham, for kids going back to school, teaching staff, for the people of Belarus, Syria, Yemen and Hong Kong, for the unrest in the US and the chaos in the UK 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9月7日
在一個充滿財富的世界
那裡很多人餓了
許多人受到迫害
引導我們走上希望，正義和愛的道路
歌曲“有希望”

愛上帝，我們支離破碎，相互矛盾，
我們談論解放與壓迫
我們談論和平，充滿暴力
幫助我們愛而不恨
即使在這些黑暗的日子裡。阿門
我們用自己的語言說主禱文
閱讀羅馬書2 21那麼，您，誰教別人，您不教自己嗎？鼓吹偷竊的人，您偷竊嗎？ 22你說人不該犯姦淫，你犯姦淫嗎？
今晚，我們為禁閉者，伯明翰刺傷事件的受災者，返校的孩子，教職人員，白俄羅斯，敘利亞，也門和香港的人民，美國的動亂和美國的混亂進行祈禱。英國以及我們認識的所有今晚需要我們幫助和祈禱的人。
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
