Song “Be thou my vision” https://youtu.be/Optrm7lF16s?feature=shared
I light a candle for light, sending
prayers high into the inky heavens and
dreams deep into our human soul.
We light a candle for light. May it light our way.
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Psalm 74
Remember this, Lord, that the enemy has taunted You,
And a foolish people has treated Your name disrespectfully.
19 Do not give the soul of Your turtledove to the wild animal;
Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.
20 Consider the covenant;
For the dark places of the land are full of the places of violence.
21 May the oppressed person not return dishonoured;
May the afflicted and the needy praise Your name.
We pray for people and situations that are on our hearts today...
For peace in Ukraine and Gaza. For release of Israeli and Palestinian hostages. For Russia, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan.
For the over a million refugees worldwide,
For people who are homeless, hungry, persecuted
For those who fight for the earth and for justice for its people
May we not fail you though we face great dangers.
