During this season of pandemic
|
This prayer, by Ana, focus particularly on our Global Partner links
|
|
through Wessex Synod, Commitment for Life
|
and the Council for World Mission.
Pray with me.
Global God,
Your embrace circles the globe
Pulsating wholeness, hope and justice into every heart.
During this season of pandemic
As Covid-19 sweeps across the lands
We cry out to you,
Not just for ourselves but for your beloved family,
For our sisters and brothers in Zambia and Zimbabwe
Where church choirs are silent, coffers are empty, crowded communities await safe passage.
Bless our gifts moving into their midst, helping meet their needs.
We cry out to you,
For our neighbours in France
Breathing the air we share in this corner of the globe,
Breathing in the hope of an atmosphere free of virus.
We cry out to you,
For our neighbours in Fiji and other mission partners in the Pacific,
That their safety bubbles may be signs of hope to us all.
Global God,
During this season of pandemic
As Covid-19 sweeps over the lands,
we celebrate the cleaning of the air and water around the globe,
The enhanced songs of birds,
The sacred silence settling, replacing the noises of modernity,
the neglected gardens now tended,
The unknown neighbours befriended each Thursday evening
As we clapped our appreciation.
Global God,
During this season of pandemic
As your embrace circles the globe,
Fill our hearts and minds with a renewed commitment
As stewards of this earth and neighbours to one another,
This we pray, as your beloved family.
Amen.
