Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples
John 13.35

Holy God,
who call Your people to sustain the weary and protect the oppressed.
Uphold us in our concerns and strengthen us,
that we may not only speak our prayers
but act on behalf of their fulfillment.
Most Holy One,
grant that we may be counted as members of the great cloud of witnesses
who live with justice and compassion,
and reveal Your divine glory before all people.
In the name of the Son You glorified. Amen.

Powerful Deliverer,
as You delivered the Hebrews safely
out of the long labour of slavery,
so, morning by morning,
You draw us forth into the new day.
Surround us with Your cloud of witnesses,
and sustain us by Your powerful Word, that,
in the night of loneliness and fear,
we, being weary , may not lose heart.
Comfort us in tribulation
as we push toward the joy that is to come,
labouring with Christ to give birth
to Your promised kingdom.
We ask this in the name of Your Son, Yeshua Jesus.
Amen.
