A prayer for VE Day, written by Martyn Payne:
God of sadness and celebration,
you share our pain at loss
as well as our joy in reunion.
We remember with gratitude
the mixed emotions of VE Day,
in people’s hearts, and on the streets.
Comfort those who still grieve,
and challenge us who live on
to value what was won
and to build on the legacy of lives sacrificed.
For your name’s sake.
Amen.

A prayer written by Martyn Payne:
Speak to us Lord,
between rest and work,
between work and sleep,
between busyness and silence,
between silence and words,
between getting ready and going out,
between coming home and settling down.
that from these spaces in our lives
we might grow into fullness of life,
every moment of our days.
Amen.

Prayer for those affected by the Earthquake in Myanmar

God, our strength and our refuge, 

We pray to you for the people of Myanmar. 

We hold in mind those who are injured or have been bereaved. 

We ask your protection for everyone awaiting rescue. 

May those who have lost homes and belongings be comforted. 

May emergency workers and medical staff be safe as they pour their energy 

Into saving the lives of others. 

May the international community respond quickly to support those affected. 

God, our strength and our refuge, 

Be with our global neighbours today. 

Amen
