Longings - based on Deut 34:1-12
This prayer reflects on Moses' longing, and encourages us to bring our own longings to God. We have included a short silence at the end, where you can encourage people to bring the longings of their hearts as part of worship.
Text:
We all have our longings O Lord,
and we bring them to you as part of our worship.
As Moses stood on that mountain top and looked down,
saw the beauty of the Promised Land,
longing to be there, longing to see the fulfilment of his dreams
and the end of his journey.
We all have our longings O Lord,
and we bring them to you as part of our worship.
As Moses spoke with you Lord,
shared the closeness of friendship and trust
with you, the Living God,
the one who called him and gave him a second chance.
We all have our longings O Lord,
and we bring them to you as part of our worship.
We, like Moses, catch a glimpse of a better life,
a different world, full of changes for the good,
longing to take our people there, all those we know and love,
to a place of hope and kindness, respect and freedom.
We all have our longings O Lord,
and we bring them to you as part of our worship.
[Introduce a moment of silence for people to bring their own longings to God.]
Amen.
