Loving Yahweh, your song of renewal and restoration brings joy to us. We breathe in your breath and allow your words “Do not be afraid” penetrate us bringing a calmness. Thank you for restoring and replenishing what has been taken from us. Creation and new birth is all around us, encouraging hope. Thank you for the work you do for us. Thank you, we will never again be ashamed.

We feel peace and comfort as we enter your sacred prayer space. You encourage us to greet each other in a good way. We sometimes struggle with judgemental attitudes towards others. But your way is the way of patience, love, and peace. Your guidance is to bury the hatchet of judgement and prejudice, and to make things right with each other.

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