Loving God
Bring healing to our bones
Bring life and redemption
to us and the earth
Remind us of your resurrection power
Song “Behold the Lamb”
You entrusted the earth to us
And we have destroyed it
The forests are burning
Children are dying
Our world is sick
Forgive us
Restore our vision and help us to act bravely to save your precious world
We say the Lords Prayer in our own language
Reading 1 Corinthians 7
But this I say, brothers, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have partners should be as though they had none;30 and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess; 31 and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the present form of this world is passing away.
We pray for Israelis and Palestinians, for Ukrainians and Russians, For Syria, for Ethiopia, for Kosova and Serbia and all places where there is war. We pray for peace makers and humanitarian corridors, for the children and the terrified and for people of good will to work together to change the world. …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. Amen
Bless to us
The sun and moon that are above us
The earth that is beneath us
Friends and family around us
Your image within us
And the day/night that is before us. Amen.
