A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Creator God,
we thank You for soil,
one of creation's wonders that we simply take for granted.
Be with those who labour on the land,
help us all to make decisions which contribute towards nurturing and preserving it
so that the soil will continue to bear fruit
that all your children might be fed!
We pray this in your holy name. AMEN

10/12/2023Here's a special message for Human Rights Day 2020 - a year like no other (2:09).
So what are Human Rights (2:08)?
A PRAYER
We pray this day for all who are denied human rights.
We pray for individuals and organisations campaigning for the oppressed.
We pray for oppressors that their hearts be transformed.
Loving God, help us to be beacons of hope,
willing to speak and campaign,
to support and encourage,
to show compassion and resilience,
so that your kingdom of peace and justice be established
in this place, at this time.
Give us wisdom and courage to make the first seemingly small steps and declarations
required to make giant leaps and proclamations.
We ask this in your holy name. AMEN
