Reflection of the week
This is the season for a Psalm. These sacred songs, or poems to be sung, have been voiced over millennia, echoing emotions that reflect living life in all its fullness.
Psalm 27 begins and ends with clear statements of belief. In between we hear conviction, aching uncertainty, fear, deepest grieving, humility and delighted joy.
Prayer points
This week we pray for:
- For all impacted by the floods, those who mourn lives lost and those that have lost everything
- For all people that provide emergency relief and care – whether as a result of natural disasters or conflict
- For peace in Ukraine.
