Signs of the times: Prayers

Do we see the signs of the times?  Prayers of praise, confession and intercession for times of order, times of chaos and times of fresh start that follow the same pattern so that they can be used in the same service or at intervals recognising our need to respond to the signs of the times.

Signs of the times: Prayers for times of order

Prayers of praise
For times of order out of chaos
We try to say with confidence:
We rejoice, we are thankful
For times of nurture and space to grow
We try to say with confidence:
We rejoice, we are thankful
For times of safety and protection
We try to say with confidence:
We rejoice, we are thankful
Unchanging God in changing times
We acknowledge your love and care for us
Amen

Continues with:

• Three prayers of Confession
• Prayers for times of chaos
