Lesbian & Gay Christian Movement Prayer

God, whose love and compassion extends to all without distinction of sex or sexuality

We offer you our lives and experiences as gay men, bisexuals and lesbian women

Help us to play our special part in your work of redeeming love for all people

Give us strength to carry your love into a world that may reject or ignore us

May we journey with Christ in faith and truth and justice trusting in your eternal love

We remember in prayer

• The Church - that your concern for love, justice and freedom may be honoured by the community of faith
• Lesbians and gay men throughout the world, especially those facing hatred, injustice or imprisonment; the lonely, isolated and confused; the poor and hungry; the elderly, the sick and bereaved; that they may know themselves to be acceptable and accepted
• Those we love, especially our partners, our parents, our families and friends, that our love may be a reflection of your creation
• Those who seek to hurt us, that their hearts may be changed
• Ourselves - that we may be ready to respond in love to the needs of our gay brothers and sisters and all your creation
• Lord in your mercy

  Hear our prayer
