Prayer from Liverpool

Prayer from Together Liverpool, committed to welcoming the stranger

Lord Jesus, born in a family displaced by powerful forces,
we pray for those displaced today.

For asylum seekers and refugees fleeing war and persecution,
for those being resettled from Syrian camps
and for lone children trying to find their families or any family to love and support them.

Work a miracle of hope in us and through us to grow a network of love, to start rebuilding lives in our own communities.

For your Name's sake.
Amen

What it's all about

The Northern Prayerhouse –handing on a basket full of prayers from area to area across the North of England.

Together Lancashire invites faith groups across the North of England to take part in series of prayer events and activities with a focus on tackling poverty and deprivation.

The North of England has a long history of being a House of Prayer. From the Celtic saints of Northumbria, the great abbeys, the Cathedrals and Minsters, the early, dissenters and Quakers, the Methodist revival in the midst of the industrial revolution, there has been a deep spiritual longing to transform the world as it is into the world as it ought to be.

Christian organisations and networks are addressing challenges of poverty. As austerity measures continue to bite, faith groups continue to respond, ever more stretched through lack of resources, and burdened by the higher expectations from the public sector that we can pick up the pieces.

We wish to recognise the hard work, the pressures being faced by those who care and those we care for, and the resilience and expertise of people in local communities who are at the sharp end. At the same time, we wish to highlight areas of injustice and to appeal to decision makers and to God for change.

Each area will offer prayers from your neighbour as well as your own. Your prayers will be easily transferred via an electronic ‘basket’ to a neighbouring area; there is scope for those who would like to be “pilgrim heralds/angels/messengers” to make journeys to neighbouring centres in person in the real world.
