Prayer Night At Ros & Jons'



Tonight we gathered for our weekly time of prayer together. Phil arrived with his 'new hair', Miranda, Tim, Anna, and a little later came Emma , who brought along her beautiful croched blanket, which she continued to weave throughout the night. Phil ordered a Chai Tea, (looks like I may have converted him!), we shared things that have been happening in our lives, worries, fears, excitement, choices and then we laid it all before our Father in heaven, and heard him speak through us in many creative ways. Emma described it beautifully when she prayed, thanking God for the exciting stories in this room, the rich tapestry you are weaving together through our lives. We stood around Anna like a human sheild as we prayed for protection, a symbol that she is not alone, that we walk ad pray with her, Ros laid a blanket before Miranda as we prayed for her future and all that God has for her. There were many amazing words spoken, and I'm so greatful for what God is doing in us...Tim training to become an assistant manager, Phil starting prayer rooms in schools, Anna's amazing work with the kids in her class. Thankyou Father, protect us and continue to guide us in the ways of your love.

Thursday Soup at Tim & Annas!

After an amazing soup cooked from scratch by Tim, we spent some time meditating on God together and praying over this prayer...
Breathe in the breath of God

Breathe out your cares and concerns

Breathe in the love of God

Breathe out your doubts and despairs

Breathe in the life of God

Breathe out your fears and frustrations

We sit quietly before the One who gives life and love to all creation,

We sit in awe of the One who formed us in our mother’s wombs

We sit at peace surrounded by the One who fills every fibre of our being

Breathe in the breath of God

Breathe out your tensions and turmoil

Breathe in the love of God

Breathe out your haste and hurry

Breathe in the life of God

Breathe out your work and worry

We sit quietly before the One who gives life and love to all creation,

We sit in awe of the One who formed us in our mother’s wombs

We sit at peace surrounded by the One who fills every fibre of our being
