We'll be using prayers from the Methodist Church in Britain each Sunday in Lent.
As Christians use the Lent period to prepare themselves for God's great act of self-giving on Calvary, Dr. Deidre Homer, a Methodist local preacher in traini...ng (British Methodist Church), reflects on the need for Christians to undertake their own self-giving - responding to God's activity in the world by acting on behalf of those around us
We pray for those who have no peace -
for those who are troubled and torn apart by lack of self esteem
for those who torment and victimise the vulnerable.
We pray for men and women affected by violence in the home
and for those who live by violence.
We pray for those who are trafficked
and for those who organise and profit from selling other humans.
May they learn of your love
and somehow come to newness of life
even in the midst of despair.
God of mercy and love let us serve you in our world.
