PRAYER
At 7pm we ask you to join in prayer with Christians across the UK once more. Light a candle in your window letting Gods Love and Light shine forth into the darkness.
The prayer we will pray together is:
Faithful God, we thank you That you are present with us now As we share in the life of the Risen Christ. Continue to be present with us we ask. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.
God who inspires faith, we thank you That you have been with us In times of anxiety and uncertainty. Keep watch over our memories of the past. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.
Faithful God, we thank you That you will be with us In the days that are to come. Journey with us in the days that lie before us. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.
God who inspires faith, we thank you For the life of your Son Who for our sakes embraced human form. May his life shape our lives in these present times. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.
Faithful God, we thank you For the reassurance that you are merciful and gracious And that your love abounds. In your compassion, remember us and those whom we love. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.
God who inspires faith, we thank you For the knowledge that you will be with us In all that we now face. Go before us and provide for us we ask. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.
