Acts 18: 23-28; Psalm 47: 2-10; John 16: 23-28

you say
until now
we have not
asked anything
in your name
you say
ask
the father
in my name
and you will receive
so that your joy may be complete

so i ask for
 the end of war
and hate
and violence
and sin
and suffering
and death and grief
exploitation
of one another
through slavery
and human trafficking
and greed and lust
and the end of
racism and sexism
and guns and weapons
that kill and destroy
for the blind to see
the deaf to hear
the lame to walk
the hungry to be fed
the prisoners set  free
we ask you
in Jesus’ name
we ask for love and peace. Amen

Will you answer?
