Today, we invite you to ‘Reread, Rest and Reflect’ on the prayers of the past week while listening to the Song of the Week:
Lectionary Readings for Today:
2 Kings 2:1-15
Psalm 104:24-35
We are your royal priesthood, O LORD. We are your messengers in this world. Christ, as a light illumine and guide us. Christ, as a shield, overshadows us. Surround us on all sides and stay with us. Humble us to your wise guidance so we may walk surely on this path and greet each other in a good way, bringing you honour and glory.
Your sunbeams kiss our cheeks, reminding us that you are with us. You are the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. Only you can fill our gardens and vineyards, fields and granaries. We will follow you alone, from this time forth and for all generations.

Life-giving Spirit comes close and breathes into us. We join in breath-dancing with you. We feel creation join, and feel peace and oneness.
We hear your invitation to draw near and listen to you. Only you can satisfy our souls; only you can provide the best of the best. Thank you that your thoughts are not our thoughts, and your ways are not our ways. Thank you for meditating on how much you love us.
Abba Father, you love us with an everlasting love that we cannot even comprehend. Out of your longing for a relationship with us, you sent your son Jesus to show us how to have a conversation with you through prayer. Your Life-giving Spirit envelopes us. May we receive your love and peace.
I feel Life-giving Spirit’s breath within me, Yahweh, and thank you for…
Who are we, O Yahweh, that you should look upon us with such favour? You welcome us into your sacred prayer space, and remind us of your unfailing love. Although we have rejected you and chosen to disregard your ways and wisdom, your promises never cease. You call us to prepare for your never-ending blessings.
