Prayer Focus Preview

 

Each week we place a prayer focus on our Home Page highlighting  a particular profession or area of work. To enable you to use these in your Sunday service at the beginning of the week in which they will appear, we include a preview section here. For ease of use, you can download a PDF version to cut and paste into your service sheet, powerpoint etc. This material is free to use provided you acknowledge the source and do not include it in any publication that is sold for profit.

All knowing God

The things that we can do today would have been called miracles just a century ago. At the press of a button we can manipulate computers on the other side of the world; see images and send messages over thousands of miles, perform intricate tasks and process immeasurable amounts of information. And yet our technology also reveals to us that for all of our advances, we are still fallen beings. For the same resources that open gateways of communication and knowledge, have become the portals through which children are exploited, perversion is fuelled, disorder is mobilised and weapons are guided. And so we pray for those who work in technology, we thank you for them and for all the possibilities that their expertise has provided for us. As the horizons of possibility seem to be every stretched, help us to use wisely the abilities it provides, and may we never forget that there is nothing on this earth to discover that you have not placed there. In a world where technology takes an increasingly central place, may we never lose sight of our need for You. In the name of Christ we pray. AMEN
