As part of the national call to pray together from the Church of Scotland, today we share in the Moderator’s Prayer.
A Prayer for the Church
From the Right Rev Susan Brown, Moderator.
You who led your people through the wilderness to the promised land,
who carried the faithful through the throes of Good Friday to the joy of Easter Day:
Hear us as we pray for your people today,
in this land
and at this time…
When we fear what lies ahead,
when we feel overwhelmed by the task of pointing people to your love and mercy:
Remind us that you are a living God,
still at work,
still planning and still promising…
When our heads go down
and our shoulders droop:
Lift our eyes
that they may look into yours
and see there a love
that will not
ever
let us go
AMEN
