PRAYERS

God who is the promiser of justice, who bends our ear to the cry of the weary and despairing - We seek you and yearn for your peace, Lord. Help us to listen and not turn away. Help us to find our 'disciple's tongue' (Is 50:4) and follow you ever more closely. God, we have made an Empire in our image, but you call us to turn away from sin and power. Thank you that we are not alone. We pray:

• For the wisdom - in ourselves, our churches, our communities - to find creative new ways of living in and challenging Empire
• For the courage to risk speaking truth to power, even when it may harm us, and for Canadian churches to become more unshaking in our values.
  
• For the relief workers in Lebanon, as they dig through the rubble - may they be strengtened with compassion and endurance
• For those who have lost lives and family and home and work in this conflict, on all sides. Amen
