ss spotlight - Winter 2022,  lunch break liturgy

lunch break liturgy

Victoria Hutchinson adds to our liturgy toolbelt; prayers crafted in the still to equip us in the busy
'For what I am about to eat
May my heart be truly thankful'

Lord, my heart is beating fast -
Please can you lead me beside still waters
In this heartbeat of 30 stolen minutes.

My mind is jumping and leafing through
all the tasks that need to be done
And I feel panic rising
Standing on the mid-day mountain
Ready for earthquake, wind, and fire
Father, calm my clamour and
let me hear your still, small voice.

I lift to you my patients today
(Name them...)
Thank you for the things that have been
achieved this morning.
Lord, there are still many things to resolve
(Bring specific things to God)Please help me to complete and achieve
Without omission or error.
Wave your flag madly
If I'm on the brink of forgetting something
And flood me to overflowing
With all compassion and care
And time, where time is essential.

As I sit and replenish my body
And quench my eager thirst
Please water my soul with living waters
Season me with salt
And let me draw new energy
From the bread of life.

Amen

Victoria Hutchinson recently retired from midwifery in the Midlands and now works as a school chaplain.
