PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION (From Psalm 79:1-9)
O God,
it seems that those who give you no thought
have taken over your world.
spoiling the land, the air,and the sea
using up men, women and children for their own ends 
and casting lives aside like waste material.
Those who would honour you feel powerless
often the scorn of the ungodly;
 ridiculed, and the butt of their jokes.
How long can this go on, O God?
Won't you deal with those powers of death
 who suffocate your creation?
Do not remember the the dark parts of our lives;
quickly let your compassion meet us on our way,
because we are at the end of out tether
Help us, saving God,
for the glory of your name.
Deliver us, and forgive us our sins,
 for your name's sake. 
O God,
let the light of your Word, and the warmth of your Spirit
dry the eyes of the oppressed and grieving
strengthen the weak and the lonely,
and delight in those for whom life has begun anew
that they may know your peace,
to your honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen
