Today, we invite you to ‘Reread, Rest and Reflect’ on the prayers of the past week.

We, your people, come to be in this moment with you. Thank you for bringing to our attention that we show favouritism either intentionally or unintentionally. We admit to you that by judging we are following wrong motives. Thank you for the red flags, so we can return to you. Thank you for the gift of you and your instructions that lead to a healthy mind and body.
Loving Yahweh, hear the cries of our hearts. Defend and protect the poor, needy, and parentless. Destroy the gods and idols that hold us back from being who you created us to be. Arise, O God, we turn to you.
God of peace, we, your beloved people, sing your praises along with creation. We openly acknowledge you are the Creator of the Universe and our God. We worship you alone. Thank you for being the same today, yesterday, and forever. May our sacrifice of praise, which leads to life and relationship, bring joy to you.
Loving Divine Family,
We enter your prayer space with heaviness on our shoulders. We feel the weight of sorrow and grief from threats of war, death of loved ones, stolen dreams, and lost visions. Your words and response are compassionate to us: “Come, let’s have something to eat. Rest in my peace and light, and tell me about your day.”
