Just a draft of a prayer based on my relfections on Psalm 33:20-22 which we are using as a call to worship at church ... waiting on God and putting our trust in his unfailing love.
O God,
In the midst
of our lostness
In the joy
of being found
In the efforts
of our endeavours: successes and failings
In the glow
of great joy and happiness
In the sting
of pain and sorrow and grief
Through the
shining brightness of doing right
And the
gapping darkness of injustice
We wait and
put our hope in your unfailing love
O Lord,
Love that
stepped down to serve
Love that
was rejected and scorned
Love tortured
and nailed to rough wood
Love dead
and buried
Love raised
and alive
Love in ever
abiding presence
Love that in
glorious hope will return again
We put our
trust in your unfailing love
O God Father,
Son and spirit,
We have done
wrong and left so much good undone
Forgive us,
restore us and make us whole
Fill us a
fresh with your presence
Lead us and
guide us in your right ways
Enable and
empower to share your love
To be the
body of Christ together in this place
To embody Christ
in your world and bring hope
We put our
trust in your unfailing love
