Watch the video here - https://youtu.be/3FnCIgrP4Yw Let’s Pray - In this moment A prayer for ears to hear and eyes to see Loving Lord, you have so much to say to us, so much to show us, so much to teach us, through our experience of these last few months. But sometimes our ears are deaf to your gentle prompting, our eyes are blind to what you want to reveal to us, our hearts are so indifferent we shy away from your redirecting touch. We simply want to get back to normal, continue as if nothing had ever happened, forget the trials by which you teach us your ways. It is so much easier that way, we don’t have to stop to think, pause to consider, dwell to assess. Instead, we can fall back on what we know, settle for staggering forward again into familiar routines, stumbling along in reliable ruts and grinding grooves. Break through our stubbornness and foolishness; strengthen knees enfeebled by the weight of yesterday’s burdens so that we might walk with purpose into tomorrow’s world. Shatter our desire for safety, give grace that we may grow, faith that we might follow, insight that inspires. Give us ears to hear what the Spirit says to the churches. May our eyes be blessed because they see, and our ears because they hear, and our hearts because they are open to learn from you. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Let’s Pray for Ministers Give thanks for ministers who have been teaching and preaching God’s Word and offering pastoral care in very difficult circumstances, asking that God would continue to bless their laboursfor him. Pray that ministers will know rest and renewal during the summer months, asking that they will be re-energised for the work that lies ahead in the new church year from September.
