Welcome to this time of prayer
It seems that the video function on the blog system is not working at the moment so I will have to just share with you some thoughts and prayers in written form at the moment.
So let's pray.
Loving God
We thank you for the gift of this new day.
When we look around us or out of our windows help us to see something of your creation,help us to feel your love surrounding us, help us to show that love in our daily comings and goings.
We thank you that you are always with us even when we turn away from you by the way we live. Forgive us when we do this and help us always to follow in the ways of Christ. Amen.
Here is a link to the hymn
In this time of Advent I am going to try to read a chapter of Luke's Gospel each day. I thought I would share with you something form what I have read. Today it is Luke 2: 41 - 52
Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. When Jesus was twelve years old, they attended the festival as usual. After the celebration was over, they started home to Nazareth, but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents didn’t miss him at first, because they assumed he was among the other travellers. But when he didn’t show up that evening, they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.When they couldn’t find him, they went back to Jerusalem to search for him there. Three days later they finally discovered him in the Temple, sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking questions. All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.His parents didn’t know what to think. “Son,” his mother said to him, “why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere.”“But why did you need to search?” he asked. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”But they didn’t understand what he meant. Then he returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. And his mother stored all these things in her heart.
There is not much in the Gospel accounts we have telling us about the childhood of Jesus. Here Luke seems to reinforcing who Jesus is even as he is growing up. I am drawn to the words of Jesus , " Why did you need to search, didn't you know that I must be in my Father's house?" We may search for God but sometimes forget to do so in the most obvious of places. At the moment not everyone can go to church to worship but when we can do we expect to meet with God there? I hope so because I believe in the worship we offer God is with us. That does not mean that we cannot meet God elsewhere. Sometimes it will be in what we see and experience around us , maybe in nature, sometimes it will be through what other people do, sometimes it will be in the silence. I hope that today you will find a place where you feel you can say I am " in my Father's house".
So let us pray
Gracious God
Today we pray that we may see you around us in the obvious as well as the extra ordinary.
We pray for our world; those places where there is war and injustice...(silent prayer).
We pray for our own country , for our leaders and those who work in our emergency services
(silent prayer).
We pray for those who are sick today or worried because of the pressures of life caused by the pandemic we are in (silent prayer).
We pray for other concerns we have today. (silent prayer).
Let us offer these prayers in confidence because we know we have a God who cares for us and
all that He has created. Amen
Let us share in the Lord's Prayer.
Take care and keep safe
God bless
