Prayers

People have arranged for churches and groups in Australia and America to pray for me – thank you.

John Tully, who was minister of Glebe Uniting Church in the second half of the 1970s told me by phone: ‘David, we will pray that the chemotherapy bad effects will be minimised and the good effects maximised’.

John Connor who was minister at Petersham Baptist Church for thirteen years to 1989 and his wife Joy sent two prayers from Iona, a reflective, Celtic influenced Christian commune in the United Kingdom www.iona.org.uk:

Spirit of the living God, present with us now,
Enter your body, mind and spirit,
And heal you of all that harms you,
In Jesus name.
Amen.

Lord Christ,
You are the still centre of every storm.
In you is calm
    Whatever the wind outside.
In you is reassurance,
    However high the waves.
In you is strength,
    However contrary the tide.
