PRAYERS 5Lord, our world needs changed lives;
people freed from greed and compromise,
people living for your kingdom,
not just for themselves. Father, send us out with your gospel. Lord, our world needs freedom,
people healed and set free,
people alive because of you. Father, send us out with your power. Lord, our world needs a king;
people who recognise Jesus
as Son of the living God,
people who give all to follow him. Father, send us out with your calling. Lord, our world needs love,
people sold out for you,
and committed to each other. Father, send us out with your compassion. Lord, our world needs feeding,
people nourished with food and water,
people fed by word and spirit,
bread and wine. Father, send us out with your invitation. Lord, our world needs disciples. Send us out, and remain with us
until the end of the age.
Amen.
PRAYERS 6
As you taught your first disciples, teach us to recognise your presence and talk to you:
Lord, teach us to pray.
Because our society and our culture need your word, may we explain the truth boldly and clearly:
Lord teach us to speak.
When troubles surround us or engulf us, make us conscious of our security in you:
Lord teach us to hope.
May we reflect and embody your commitment to everyone we meet day by day:
Lord teach us to love.
Help us to use our resources wisely, placing all we have at your disposal:
Lord teach us to give.
Show us how to invest our time and our energy in ways that will count for eternity:
Lord teach us to live.
LORD'S PRAYER 1The Lord's Prayer As our Saviour taught us, so we pray Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.
