Faringdon United Church Swanage Fareham August – A Christian Aid prayer Good God of creation, we sing praise to you. But even as we raise our voices we know we have faltered and failed. Walking on paths that turned our hearts inward, Too often our leaves have withered our branches are barren. We have failed to be pruned and the axe is now poised. Poised to cut down the excesses that crucify all creation, the systems that impoverish all people, the privileges that diminish our faith. But even now it is not too late. For in the face of judgement comes the offer of grace and the hope that deadwood can spring to life. Where we have failed to bear good fruit and share your abundance for the earth GOD HAVE MERCY When our actions and intentions have been as chaff for the winds of heaven GOD HAVE MERCY Forgive us. Restore us. Inspire us now to delight in your purposes, to embrace your possibilities, to inhabit your promises, to flourish as fruit for the world you so love and bring healing for all the nations. AMEN
