Thank you for personally knowing each one of our names. Thank you for the gift of friends who encourage us, and give us energy. May we hear your words of wisdom and take refuge in you. May we be a blessing.

Thank you for this sacred time with you, Divine Family, where we can hear your truth. Thank you, all who belong in Christ Jesus are your children who share equally in the inheritance of your promises. You call us to live as your heirs, to live lives of faith that reveal your love for creation.

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

Lectionary Readings for Today: Weekly Review
Psalm 22:1-15
Job 20:1-29
Matthew 15:1-9

We sojourn together. We seek truth, not gossip. We will speak, act, and live honestly and honourably upon your Ancient Path, and greet each other in a good way.

We gather next to your streams of living water. Encircle us into your sacred prayer space and draw close to us. Set us apart and keep us holy. Watch over us as we pray and listen. Fill us with your wisdom. Silence and remove any folly living within us.

Loving Yahweh, we look to you. You hear our cries against injustice and gender-based violence. We feel helpless, as we experience pain and injustice. We move our attention from looking at the complexities of our brokenness to the pure broken heart of Jesus Christ who leads us to your mercy, grace, and love. It is here, we know we are your Beloved.
