Blessed is the one whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers. (From Psalm 1)
Prayer of thanksgiving for the work of Church Action on Poverty
on its 40th anniversary
Creator of all, Saviour of all, Spirit in all, One God in perfect community, Stay with us now. Where there is apathy, Kindle the flame of your love. Where there is deceit, confront every lie with your truth. Where there is hopelessness, reveal deep wells of compassion. Where there is joy, let your kindly protection be known. Where we hesitate to serve you, make us restless until we change. For yours is the kingdom, the power And the glory for ever. AMEN
