Whilst writing my sermon for Evensong in Truro on New Year's Day I was inspired to do a bit of liturgical drafting based upon some of the biblical names and titles of Jesus. As usual please feel free to use this prayer in worship or amend/improve as you wish.
Wisdom of God, guide the rulers of our earth,
Word of God, speak your truth into our lives,
Great I AM, surround the lonely with your love,
Morning Star, to the desperate bring your hope,
King of the Nations, help us learn your ways of peace,
Key of David, free those trapped within their pain,
Root of Jesse, help those who feel they don’t belong,
Rock of Ages, bring stability and safety,
Anointed One, pour your healing on our grief,
Way, Truth and Life, guide the travellers on their roads
God With Us, may we sense you in our lives.
Light Of The World, guide the frightened and the lost,
Bread of life, fill the hungry and the poor,
Spring Of Living Water, may your Spirit quench our thirst.
Open Door, welcome those who look for truth,
Living Vine, help us grow in love and grace
Lamb of God, may your mercy fill our world.
Our Beginning and our End, fill each moment we exist.
Jesus Christ, and the name above all names,
In your name we bring our prayers. Amen.
Jesus Christ, and the name above all names,
In your name we bring our prayers. Amen.
