Elijah


Your love


Pressure can come
On the young
And the old;
At work,
At school
And even at play.

Worry can come
At any time,
And in many ways;
With friends,
Alone
At night or day.

Sadness can come
And tears can fall.
Problems seem big
When really
They’re small.

Lord Jesus,
You have been under pressure
You have known what it is to worry
You have endured sadness
And tears.

Lord Jesus,
Thank you that you can walk with me
Ease my pressure
Relieve my worries
And share my tears.

Lord Jesus,
When life seems demanding
May I lean on You.

Lord Jesus,
When my worries are weighing me down
May I feel your arms supporting my load.

Lord Jesus
When I am sad and feel low
May I know the comfort of your love.

Help me


Lord help me to
Walk with the weary,
Talk with the lonely,
Share with the needy
And love the unlovely.
Amen

I care


I have a home
And I have a bed.
I always know
That I’ll be fed.

I go to school
And have places to play.
I have what I need
For every day.

I look at the world
And it’s not all the same.
For some, it would seem
It’s all just a game.

They take from the poor
And they add to their wealth.
All that matters to them
Is their personal health.

The world that I live in
Needs to be fair.
May I play my part
And show that I care.

Father God


Father God,
You have made the world
And everything in it.

Father God,
You care for the world
And everything in it.

Your love is large enough
And wide enough
And deep enough
For every situation and
For every single person.

Father God,
You are here for all the world
May we turn to you.
