Prayers 22nd March 2022,

God our creator who goes before us

You draw us forward in faith

Like a pillar of fire across deserts 

A rock of assurance

As we journey 

Speak to us with your words of comfort and wisdom.

Prayer of confession

 

God of love and forgiveness

Save us by your tenderness

From each deed that is destructive

From each act that grieves you

From each thought that is careless

From each idea that is unloving

From each word that hurts.

Help us to face up to your call on our lives, by creating love and 

goodness, community, society where it has been broken. In Jesus Name, Amen.

 

We say Lords Prayer in our own language

 

Psalm 17

 

Hear a just cause, Lord, give Your attention to my cry;
Listen to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
Let my ]judgment come forth from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look with integrity.
You have put my heart to the test;
You have visited me by night;
You have sifted me and You find nothing;
My intent is that my mouth will not offend.
As for the works of mankind, by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the ways of the violent.
My steps have held to Your paths.
My feet have not slipped.

 

We pray for the people of Ukraine, for the Russian people, for Tigray, Hong Kong, for Taiwan, for Syrians, for Yemenis, for Palestinians, for the Rohingas, for Uighurs; For those suffering from flooding, drought earthquakes, and cyclones due to climate change, for the millions of refugees, for homeless people, for those who are hungry, thirsty or in prison, for the terrified and deranged; and for the government to do the best for its people and not the worst; for our children, grandchildren and a better future for us all.

 

May God’s hand be upon us in these difficult times, your angels protect us and the Holy Spirit work in and around us. Amen 

 

Loving God help us to follow you

Into a place of quietness,

Where we may face beasts and wilderness

But we will know the presence of angels 

Even in the desert times. Amen.
