Prayer
Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - Humans created and given stewardship of the Earth
26Then God said, “Let us make a mana — someone like ourselves,* to be the master of all life upon the earth and in the skies and in the seas.”
27So God made man like his Maker.
Like God did God make man;
Man and maid did he make them.
28 And God blessed them and told them, “Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it; you are masters of the fish and birds and all the animals. 29And look! I have given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. 30And I’ve given all the grass and plants to the animals and birds for their food.” 31Then God looked over all that he had made, and it was excellent in every way. This ended the sixth day.b
21Now at last the heavens and earth were successfully completed, with all that they contained.
. . . . .Genesis 1:26-2:1- Literally, “men.” someone like ourselves, literally, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.”
- Literally, “And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day (or ‘period of time’).”
Prayer for King Charles.
God, the source of all authority,
bless King Charles and his family
help them to forgive each other
and promote reconciliation between family members,
as they very much need each others support
while working through their recent loss.
Bless the family of nations,
the Commonweath he upholds;
may he stand steadily at the helm,
and point us unfailingly to a higher commonwealth,
the true humanity
to which he and all his subjects owe allegiance;
for you are the God of nations; you are our God.
Give him the right measure of diplomacy and boldness,
to deal with the difficult job he has inherited.
Help him to seek You
In the knowledge that in reality and eternity
He will answer to You for his actions
and allegences.
Amen.
