PRAYER

You who led your people through the wilderness

to the promised land,

who carried the faithful through the throes of Good Friday

to the joy of Easter Day:

Hear us as we pray for your people today,

in this land

and at this time…

When we fear what lies ahead,

when we feel overwhelmed by the task

of pointing people

to your love

and mercy:

Remind us that you are a living God,

still at work,

still planning and promising…

When our heads go down

and our shoulders droop:

Lift our eyes

that they may look into yours

and see there a love

that will not

ever

let us go.

A prayer from the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Rt Rev Susan Brown for the Church and ‘Together We Pray’
