Prayer of the Week 23 April 2023

Living God; as we travel the journey of life,
sometimes we are sad and discouraged, and don’t recognise your presence.
Forgive us and help us.

As we travel through new experiences, sometimes we are confused and afraid,
and forget to look for you among the unfamiliar.
Forgive us and help us.

As we meet new people, some who have different ideas and views from our own,
some who challenge and make us feel uncomfortable, we fail to see you at work in them.
Forgive us and help us.

As we listen to old familiar Bible stories,
sometimes we neglect to look for new opportunities among the well-known words.
Forgive us and help us.

Amen
