Grief is something we all experience at some point in our lives. While no two people react in exactly the same way, there is much to learn from hearing about others' experiences and sharing our own when we feel able to.

If you are grieving and want to talk to someone, do approach someone you trust.
If someone who is grieving approaches you, don't worry - you won't make it worse. The worst has already happened. If they want to talk, just listen.

Here are some reflections on what it can be like to lose someone.

 

This is a video which you might find helpful:

A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DIED

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. AMEN

 

 

A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO ARE GRIEVING

Jesus, healer and teacher,  

you know what it is like to lose someone you love and you wept for your friend, Lazarus.

Help me make sense of what is happening,

because some days I feel angry, some days I feel lost,

some days I feel helpless, some days I don't feel at all.

Send me comfort and people to walk with me.

 

Help me through this pain,

and let treasured memories sustain me.

Help me to have faith that my loved one is now with you,

free from pain and worry.

 

Help others who are grieving this same loss.

 

I ask this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

AMEN

Human Rights Day 

Here'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

Did you know?

 

So you can see that mountains are incredibly important!   However, there are problems our mountains are facing because of climate change:

 

A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1 minute video.)

Creator God,

we pray for those who live on, and rely on, mountains for their livelihood.

We pray for courageous leaders who will tackle climate change at their national level.

We pledge ourselves to tackle climate change on an individual level by every day decisions that impact the world we share.

 

We give thanks for those who support us as we climb the mountains in our lives.

Help us to find and stay on the right path

and give us strength to keep going when the going gets tough.

 

We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN
