We thank you for the morning Light and evening rest
We begin and end our day by praising and thanking you
Open our hearts and our minds
To your creative healing Spirit
Song “The Spirit lives to set us free”
Loving God
We often get it wrong
Come within us
And heal and forgive us
So that we may know
Your joy and your peace
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Reading Isaiah 12
Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For the Lord God is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.”
Prayer
We pray for all those we know who need our help and prayers ….and the many others we carry in our hearts.
For India, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Yemen, Myanmar, the Rohingyas, the Uighurs, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Belarus, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, the US, our own country, climate change, doctors and nurses, carers, teachers, those confronting injustice, our families and friends and ourselves…
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.
Song ‘My Refuge”
Blessing
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
