Evening Prayers Wednesday, 15 April 2020

Your unfailing love is better than life; therefore, I shall sing your praises. Thus all my life I bless you; in your name I lift my hands in prayer. I am satisfied as with a rich feast and there is a shout of praise on my lips. I call you to mind on my bed and meditate on you in the night watches, for you have been my help and I am safe in the shadow of your wings.

A prayer at the end of the day from the Lutheran tradition:

Gracious Lord we give you thanks for this day,
especially for the good we were permitted to give and receive.
The day is now past and we commit it to you. …

Praise be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, he gave us new birth into a living hope, the hope of an inheritance, reserved in heaven for YOU, which nothing can destroy or spoil or whither.
Welcome to the new day, Living Stones.
May we rejoice in it.
Let us pray for our suffering world, our community and ourselves. …

Evening Prayers Tuesday, 14 April 2020

Let us keep apart for a while from our days activities and prepare for time with God. Let us give thanks for this day and pray that this evening may be holy, good and peaceful. As our evening prayer rises before you, O God, so may your mercy come down upon us to cleanse our hearts...

Prayer for Maundy Thursday, 9 April 2020

Most merciful God, we your Church confess that often our spirit has not been that of Christ.
Where we have failed to love one another as he loves us,
where we have pledged loyalty to him with our lips and then betrayed, deserted, or denied him;
we humbly ask you to forgive us.
And by your Spirit make us faithful especially during these very trying times;
through his overcoming name we pray.
Amen
