Pray with us today.
Come as a dove flying over still waters of hope, putting peace into the hearts of people who would wage war.
Come to the captives and the refugees. Comfort all people who wait for freedom and all people who wait for them to be free.
Come as the sound of silence to hear the cries of people whose lives are limited by gender-based violence and domination. Stir up the hearts of all who abuse their power and privilege.
Come as flames of justice to a world where children are hungry; a world ripped apart by untruths and greed.
Come as water cascading down a mountain washing away the inequities of wealth and poverty. Come change the story. Come Holy Spirit, come now.
Amen.
Penny McCulloch, worship leader, Balsall Common Methodist Church, West Midlands
