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
