Good morning Cornerstone people, Welcome to our gathering together for morning prayers. Alone with none but Thee, my God I journeyed on my way: What need I fear, when Thou art near O King of night and day? More safe am I within Thy hand Than if a host around me stand. The child of God...

Merciful God: we cry out to you in these anxious times:
where things have gone horribly wrong, and your people and church are filled with sadness and pain,
we pray that you will manifest yourself in your everlasting love.
Where people are at loggerhead or locked in a stalemate, speak to them,
and take them away from the paths of war and destruction.
Where your church is persecuted and people forbidden from speaking your name,
reach out to them in their darkness and be revealed as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
for you are always with us all the time, every place and you are the God of Hope.
We pray that the earth will be filled with your knowledge and wisdom
and that your light will envelope the earth dispelling darkness and evil in Jesus’ name.
Amen
