DARFUR

INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR DARFUR, SUDAN, SUNDAY 16TH. SEPT.

A Prayer for Darfur.

We pray for the people of Darfur who have suffered violent conflict for the last four years. for those who have fled to refugee camps and who still live in fear.

We pray for those who have died and for their families.

We pray for the women in Darfur who face danger every day as they leave their camps for firewood. May you watch over them Lord.

We pray for the children of Darfur especially those who face a frightening world without one or both of their parents. May they be protected and comforted.

We pray for the safety of aid workers as they help and care for the people of Darfur.

We pray that world leaders will find the wisdom and the courage to work for real peace for the people of Darfur. We pray for the people of Sudan as a whole, that they may find peace after many long years of civil war.

We pray that people everywhere will strive to live in peace, tolerance and respect- no matter what their faith or race.

May we gain the wisdom, grace and generosity of spirit to overcome our differences and live as one. Amen.

It was you all along

Figuratively speaking, we’ve all taken the wrong bus, made the wrong decision, worshipped the wrong God even. So, we can understand the mistake of this motley band wandering in the desert. Who hasn’t wanted a ‘golden calf’- a God they could see, touch and feel? At least they were trying to praise a deity.

And who hasn’t experienced a glimpse of the joy of God when the lost ones are found? If a key or document that is found can prompt such a response, how much more a human life? While some are more comfortable with a God whose ‘wrath… blazes out’ ; we obviously have an involved God. A God who cares.

A God who is a father-prodigious in giving. Who in some way has been told by Western culture (younger son); ‘I’m taking all my inheritance from you and going to treat you like you were dead.’ Could our churches be like the elder brother, doing the right thing, but with no real heart.

Maybe in the end, we will realise that we were more searched for than searching, more found by God than lost. After our course of life, with all its twists and turns we can say ‘it was you all along that I sought.’
