Good Friday
BIG BEN PRAYER at 12 noon, 29 March - 3 April 2021
All through this hour,
Lord, be my guide,
That by thy power
No foot shall slide.

Jesus died the cruellest and most horrific of deaths but, even in his intense agony and pain on the cross, he forgives. Click on the link
Lord God, Jesus cried out to you on the cross, “Why have you forsaken me?”
You seemed so far from his cry and from his distress.
Those who stood at the foot of the cross wondered where you were, as they saw Jesus mocked and shamed and killed.
Where were you then?
Lord God, we, too, ask where you are, when there is trouble and suffering and death, and we cry out to you for help.
Be near to us, and save us so that we may praise you for your deliverance.
Lord God, we wait, on Friday, for the resurrection of Sunday and sometimes our lives seem a succession of Fridays and we cannot see what is “Good.”
Teach us to call on your name as Jesus did. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Please continue to pray for all those on our updates, and the Christian Church worldwide as we reflect on the first Good Friday and witness to those around us that God loves them so much. "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Click on the link
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Amen.
John 3:16,17.
God bless you all on this most blessed day. Denise
