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 desire to be surrounded by your perfect light, love, and peace. In your presence, all we see is good, coming from the fruits of your spirit. We will focus on all that is good, so all sin will disappear from our vision. Let this be our hope as we journey together on your Ancient Path.

Loving Yahweh, we look to you; you open our eyes to see the committee of faith surrounding and supporting us. Thank you for not abandoning us. We join together praying to you for life and safety. Thank you, we are where we are for such a time as this. May we remain true to you and step in faith working together as the Body of Christ.

We honour you by singing your praises. Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD God Almighty. Who was, and is, and is to come. Salvation comes from you. Thank you for your loving presence and wisdom.

We gather together in an ascent to your sacred prayer space. We sing as we come to you songs of our ancestors throughout the generations. Before we knew you, even when we did not acknowledge you, your blessings and protection showered upon us. We see you smiling towards us as we praise you.

We remove our shoes as we enter your sacred prayer space. You remind us of the holiness of your sanctuary. We feel humbled in your presence. Any words we want to say fall to the earth as they depart our mouths. You break our foolish thoughts before us. Only your perfect air surrounds us. Life-giving Spirit carries your words to our ears.
