Taken from our mid-night service:
Prayed for Christ comes.
To men and women, girls and boys,crying out in darkness, pain and loneliness,he comes baptised at one with us, our Saviour, healer and friend.
Loving God we pray for those whose lives are hard and painful or whose existence is sorrowful bitter or empty...in their need may they know your healing touch, reaching out to comfort strengthen and restore. Lord come to your people, In your mercy set us free.
and I respond...
Lord I know you are here , God with us, and yet I cannot, do not sense your presence, by faith I know you are with me, probably carrying me through this time, help me to walk this path until I can see clearly again.
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy
