PRAYER PAUSE (Suspended
for some days from tomorrow as I have an op)
Wednesday 6 September 2017
SPREADING
ALL OVER
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The Good News which has reached you
is spreading all over the world.” (Colosians 1:1-8)
Reflection. There is enthusiasm and energy in Paul’s
celebration of the Good News and it is an echo of the opening of Luke’s account
of the ministry of Jesus, “I must proclaim the Good News of the kingdom of God
to the other towns too.” (Luke 4;38-44). Despite the news of narrow politics, displacements
of people, hurricanes and threats of nuclear war – all of which fill us with
sadness and alarm – God is at work in the energy of people everywhere pushing
bak against the evil within and without. There seem to be particularly nasty
events happening these days. They call us to respond and to pray. God is with
us.
Prayer. Lord, help us to hope, to struggle
and to pray in the darkness that seems to envelop us. Amen.
