A MESSAGE FROM THE MODERATOR OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The following prayer has been taken from a letter received from the Right Rev. Dr. J. Shaw Paterson, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland….
Today, I am writing to you following the terrible atrocities in Lebanon which we are seeing on the news at present, to ask you to pray this week in particular for the situation faced by the people living there and caught up in the attacks in one way or another.
Let us pray:
Almighty God, we bring our voices together to pray for peace, unsure of what to say or do. We see conflict, war, bombings, people fleeing to find shelter.
As we witness an escalation in conflict, we pray for your peace… a peace which offers justice for the oppressed and downtrodden, a real peace in which every individual may live free from the horrors currently being experienced.
Caring God, be with those suffering in Lebanon and across the Middle East. Bring healing to those physically and emotionally wounded … and healing between individuals, groups and nations.
Comforting God, be with those who mourn the loss of loved ones and be with them in their grief and trauma, offering your grace and inner peace.
Loving God, you loved us so much you came into our world in Jesus, the Prince of Peace. We have heard the Good News; enable us to share your love … for love will overcome.
Strengthen our resolve to love our neighbour, and work together for peace so that love might be shared, healing becomes a reality, and that we never lose hope.
In the Name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
