A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video)

Loving God,

We give thanks for the amazing advances in technology in recent years

brought about by the creativity and ingenuity of human beings.

Help us to use it wisely - to broaden our minds, to enhance the lives of all humanity;

and to deepen our knowledge and understanding of this wonderful universe.

We pray for governments and leaders to work to make the online world a place of safety and security

where we can communicate with and encourage each other.

We pray this in your holy name.  AMEN
