I'm doing the intercessions at church a week tomorrow. Any ideas for things I can put into the prayers?

The readings are Exodus 3:1-6 and John 12:27-41.

Glad you had a good evening. Today HID and I watched the rugby on TV together - well, it's our idea of romance. Got a friend's 50th do tomoz.

Merci, cherie.

Sanity for world leaders? Christlike compassion from those who call themselves Christians? Silly, I know, but... can't hurt to ask.

Neither of those are silly to pray about. The latter gets mentioned in some form whenever I do the prayers....

Peace for those who have none. Safe returns for those who are trying to restore peace.

Thank you - I'll make sure they get included.

Moses was challenged to recognise God in the most unlikely place, and in the following verses we read how he is again challenged to lead his people to freedom despite his own misgivings about approaching those with power.

Similarly, Jesus knew he was facing likely death for his beliefs and teachings, "now my soul is troubled" Yet he found the courage to persevere.

We could pray that many more, including ourselves, will find that courage, even if it's only to speak out for justice and compassion in environments where we might be a lone voice.

Thank you for these - very thoughtful, very apt. (I love the last one in particular.) I've printed all these comments off and will use them with pleasure.
