God
of every nation and people,
At this historic moment we pray for all who are affected by the decision that
we have made.
Whatever differences this has revealed within our own society,
may they not eclipse what we have in common.
Where the narratives of political debate have caused harm and division
help us to reclaim the true values of our shared
humanity.
Where exaggeration and distortion have generated suspicion and fear
may truth and honesty restore hope and goodness.
We pray for all the nations of Europe
that you will help us to find ways of living and
working together
to pursue the mercy and justice that you require.
We recommit ourselves – together – to the values of your eternal Kingdom
and pray that along with all people
we might help your world become more as you intended.
Thank you. Still so relevant. And in many ways more so.

DeleteThat is a very powerful prayer. I voted remain and felt quite angry at the result. Enough said, I will say this prayer today, thank you. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteIt is hard not to be a "Re-Moaner" sometimes!
DeleteI voted remain, as I could see us getting into the mess we are currently in. All we can do is just hope for the best. Xx

DeleteBrexit has been an unmitigated disaster for the nation as a whole. The scaremongers and hatemongers should be ashamed but are no doubt basking in the luxury of their ill gotten gains. The rest of us have to cope with the consequences and it seems to me that in the intervening ten years division, anger and dissatisfaction have become greater. Brexit has not changed ordinary people's lives for the better.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad about what has happened. We were lied to, and so many people believed those lies.
