Tapestry Ministries

We gather together in your presence, in your sacred prayer space. We bring our struggles, disbelief, and quarrels with us. Your desire is clear; you want to comfort and heal us. You want to make us whole.

Sixth Week After Pentecost, Saturday, July 6, 2024

Today, we invite you to reread, rest, and reflect on the prayers of the past week.

Lectionary Readings for Today:
Psalm 48
2 Samuel 3:31-38
Matthew 8:18-22

From your courts and citadels, we hear the drums of our ancestors. We hear their ancient songs ringing forth. Singers, musicians, and Prayer Warriors join from the Four Directions, from across space and time, in songs of praise to you. We join their songs of jubilation!

With joy we praise you!

Faithful, loving God, you are with us. Thank you for providing us with what we want and need. When we are weak, you are strong. Thank you we are wise in Christ, not by ourselves.

I release my desires to you today, Loving LORD, and thank you for…

Loving Divine Family,

We enter your sacred prayer space, seeking your deliverance. We are tormented and have tried our human-made methods to gain relief. Religions tell us to believe more, sacrifice more, and pray harder. But all we do is according to our human understanding. You surround us, and we are instantly redeemed to you.

I feel lifted by your Spirit today, Loving LORD, and thank you for…

You have anointed us as your children. Give us hope to stay with you and not give in to the lies that the Deceiver throws at us. We will remain with you for all our days, and greet each other in a good way.

Loving faithful God, you are with us, leading and guiding us. The path may not be comfortable or easy, but you are with us. Thank you, that in the wilderness experiences you are moulding us into the people you created us to be. Thank you for the kindred spirit friends who strengthen and encourage us not to be afraid.

We enter your sacred prayer space, seeking your healing power. But there are so many people in dire need upon this earth; how will you ever reach us in time? How will you hear our prayers? You draw near, touch us, and reassure us you will not leave or forsake us.

Today, we invite you to reread, rest, and reflect on the prayers of the past week.

Lectionary Readings for Today:
Psalm 130
1 Samuel 20:27-42
Luke 4:31-37

Your power and might are truly awesome. With one breath, you could destroy us. With one wish from you, we could perish. But your love and mercy for us are endless. You choose to honour, protect, and defend us. We will journey on your Ancient Path in a good way, and feast at your table for all eternity.
