Creator God, who spoke into the fabric of the universe to weave a cloth of righteousness and sew a tapestry of faithfulness, dip the threads of our hearts in your love so that we absorb the colours of your justice. From the patchwork of our understanding, inspire us to stitch a tent of equity for all your people, to clothe in our love those in need or poverty, and bandage those suffering in body, mind or spirit. In the name of Jesus, whose garment hem gave comfort and healing. Amen
(Carol Long, local preacher, Milton Keynes Circuit)

'O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever' 1Chronicles16:34
We give thanks to you, O God, for you are good and your love endures for ever.
We give thanks for all that you have created.
We look around us and see you in the intricate detail of a spider's Web, glistening in the morning sun, in the mighty power of the oceans and in the peace of an early morning sunrise.
We give thanks for the wonderful diversity of the people you have made, each person made in your image and likeness and each one uniquely who they are. As we seek to see you in the face of each person who we meet, we give thanks that, even with our diversity, you are so much more than we can imagine.
We give thanks for your Son, our Saviour, Jesus, who taught us how to be your disciples, and lived and died for each one of us.
We give thanks for the gift of your Holy Spirit, present from the beginning, hovering over the waters of the earth, present now still, leading us, guiding us, calling us.
We give thanks to you, O God, for you are good and your love endures for. Amen
(Ali McMillan, deacon, Methodist Central Hall Westminster)

Pray with us today.

O God, how long? How long must we wait to see your justice lifted high? How long must we groan under oppression and injustice? The poor get poorer, and the rich get richer. Help us to sing a new song. Help us, through your Holy Spirit, to sing your song of a world renewed, of dignity freely given, of right living between sibling and sibling. But it begins with me. It begins with my willingness to partner with the God of all the earth. Help us to see the riches you have placed within us and let us add our voices to the song all creation longs to sing.
Then our souls shall truly magnify the Lord,
today and always.
Amen.
(Sonia Hicks, District Chair, Northampton District)

God of grace and hope, where the warmth of a smile eclipses the sinister sneer - let hope stand triumphant.
Where an act of kindness undermines an evil deed - let hope stand triumphant.
Where a word of peace silences the terrorists threat - let hope stand triumphant.
Where difference is diversity in place of disunity - let hope stand triumphant.
Where youth is innocent and age is wisdom - let hope stand triumphant.
Where love is real and faith is kindled - let hope stand triumphant.
Praying that praise and protest would be partners in our living and in our praying, that your kingdom may come among us. Amen
(Andy Fyall, District Chair, Nottingham and Derby District)

Thank you God that John Wesley's New Room in Bristol has grown out of praise and protest. Grant that this special place, where the singing praises of Charles Wesley's hymns resound, continues to be an oasis of worship. Here, where early protests were made against slavery and injustice, may the museum and education projects continue to bring alive the story of Methodists across the world. A quiet pool set in a clamorous city, may its pilgrims receive healing, nourishment and share the waters of faith. Amen
(Josette Crane, chaplain, John Wesley's New Room, Bristol)

Pray with us today.

Through your infinite mercy, O God, may we be prevented from destroying your creation. With so many ongoing conflicts, Lord, it can sometimes be a challenge for many people to believe in your existence. Yet, in spite of centuries of violence and hatred, oppression and injustice, all spawned from humankind, it is a miracle indeed that the human race can still recover, and produce people who can, and do, overcome evil with good; hatred with love and greed with open-handedness. This, Father God, can only be possible by your outpouring of grace. Amen.
(John Morton, supernumerary presbyter, Kendal Circuit)

Pray with us today.

Creator God, you teem in every prison space and in every story; prisoner, victim, family and staff. Your light breaks through the cracks in our broken vessels and the diversity of multi-faith prison chaplaincy. You know the loss that separation brings, yet offer hope that healing is accessible to hurting people and people who cause hurt. Guide your Church toward being a model for institutions that act justly and do not impose harm. See us, Mother of Nature, and forgive our failing to love with the sort of balance Jesus practised. Let us happily carry our share of injustice so that our ministries may relate to the people we are called to serve. Amen.
(Leon Dundas, Managing Chaplain and Care/TRIM Team, HMP Exeter)

Praise the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me
protest against inequality,
challenge discrimination,
confront oppressive systems,
voice concern for the silenced,
speak truth to abusive power,
stand alongside the excluded,
dignify the forgotten,
address negative thought patterns,
preach to promote God's heart for the poor,
serve others with the love of Christ and
promote good practice.
Let us sing to celebrate God's coming kingdom!
Shout to proclaim the new heaven and earth!
Praise the Lord, O my soul
and all that is within me bless his holy name!
(Frances Ballantyne, presbyter, Leicester Trinity Circuit)
