Lord God. You are great, you are merciful. We love you. We thank
you for the grace you show us and the many blessings you give us. We come to you in humbleness. As we pray we ask you to
show us what we can do, if not today then in the future. Lord we come to you
now with these prayers...
Nearly half of the world’s population — more than 3 billion people —
live on less than £2 a day. More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty
(less than £1 a day). And yet we spend around £500 million on Easter eggs. Lord, show us how we can make a difference.
More than 1 billion
people lack adequate access to clean drinking water and an estimated 400
million of these are children. And yet engineers can make oil travel in pipes
across thousands of miles to us in the west. Lord, show us how
we can make a difference.
Hunger is the
number one cause of death in the world. 870 million people worldwide do not
have enough food to eat. And yet we throw away 7milllion tonnes of food and
drink from our homes in the UK alone every year. Lord, show us
how we can make a difference.
19 million children
worldwide remain unvaccinated. And yet there are diseases that could be wiped
out from the earth if everyone had vaccines available. Lord show
us how we can make a difference.
A quarter of all
humans live without electricity — approximately 1.6 billion people. And yet billions
of £’s are spent sending machines to Mars. Lord, show us how we can make a
difference.
Thank you Lord Jesus
for hearing our prayers. We trust you will guide us and show us what to do.
Please give us the strength to obey. And now in obedience, Lord Jesus we offer
this prayer written by John and Charles Wesley…
I
am no longer my own but yours,
Put me to what you will
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed for you or laid aside for you.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and wholeheartedly yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal
And now glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
You are mine and I am yours. So be it.
And this covenant now made on earth, let it be satisfied in heaven.
Put me to what you will
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed for you or laid aside for you.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and wholeheartedly yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal
And now glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
You are mine and I am yours. So be it.
And this covenant now made on earth, let it be satisfied in heaven.
Amen
