Prayer for Christian Aid Week 15–22 May 2016

O Saviour Christ,
in whose way of life lies the secret of all life
and the hopes of all the people,
we pray for quiet courage to meet this hour.
We did not choose to be born or to live in such an age.
but let its problems exhilarate us,
its injustice anger us,
its possibilities inspire us,
and its vigour renew us, for your Kingdom’s sake.

Amen
