I call on the clarity of God
To meet me in my confusion
I call on the mercy of God
To meet me in my brokenness
God in my meeting, God in my parting.
Song “One thing I ask”
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
We call on the power of God
To meet us in our helplessness
God in our thinking
God in our speaking
Reading Revelation 21
" and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes"
We pray for people and situations we are concerned about; for those living with war and conflict, Ukraine, Russia, Yemen, Palestine, Myanmar, Rohingyas, Uighurs, Hong Kong, Belarus, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, for our own country, for those facing climate change disasters, for those with Covid, for doctors and nurses, carers, for refugees and the homeless and those hungry, and tormented.
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 soul finds rest in God alone”
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
