Prayers from the Megabytes

(Megabytes - our teenagers - meet on the first Sunday of the month at 2pm)

This is a prayer of confession and saying sorry to God.

Dear God,
Please forgive our bad attitude. Sometimes we are too rude and aggressive with other people. We confess our in-built faults. Sometimes we act thoughtlessly and we are often selfish and jealous. We are sorry for not behaving towards others as we would like them to behave towards us. Amen

This is a prayer to say thank you.

Dear Lord,
On behalf of everyone sitting here today, I would like to say Thank you for this amazing weekend. Thank you for the delicious food, interesting and talented people, the long walks, the centre. Some may not be as lucky as us, having a wonderful family, super church, friends to interact with, school to help our brains grow bigger.

God, a big thank you for the music and drama and the message it sends out. This weekend has given some, who haven’t already had it, confidence, dignity and to break out of our shell, our health and most importantly free will.

Thank you for good friends to meet.
Thank you for this day to greet.
Thank you for the chance to sing,
Thank you, God, for everything.

Lord, I have two words to say to you – THANK YOU.
Amen

This is a prayer to ask please

Dear God,
We ask that you help those who are struggling, be that with illness, sadness, loneliness, poverty or injustice.
There is still a lot of inequality and injustice in your world and much of it may be hidden from us. Please help to put the situation right and help us to be aware of what is wrong so that people will soon have the freedom and justice that we are lucky to have.
At Bloomsbury we are especially aware of homelessness on the streets of London. Please help us to be more helpful to those on the church’s doorstep, as a community and as individual people.
And please help all of us in this room, as well as everyone in the world, to know you better and love you more everyday, to be the people you want us to be.
Amen
