The Scottish Episcopal Church and other denominations join together in prayer on Sunday at 7pm, as they have done throughout the coronavirus pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of those joining together in prayer, which appears below in English and Gaelic, will also light candles.<\/p>\n

In a joint message, church leaders in Scotland said:<\/p>\n

“Where do we find grace to help us in our time of need? The Letter to the Hebrews does not quite frame the question in that way. However, the Letter answers the question and points us to \u2018Jesus, the Son of God\u2019 as the One who acts on our behalf and who will bring us into the gracious presence of God. Our time of need is now, and the needs of the world are plenty. In such a time as this, we turn to the great high priest who has faced and endured all that we face and endure. We do so knowing that the One who has endured all will enable us to \u2018approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need\u2019.<\/p>\n

In the words of the hymn writer:
\nBefore the throne of God above
\nI have a strong, a perfect plea,
\nA great High Priest, whose name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me.<\/p>\n

We pray:<\/em><\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nHave mercy on us<\/em>
\nAnd grant to us grace in time of need; For we are those who struggle<\/em>
\nAnd know our weaknesses all too well. Lord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nHave mercy on us<\/em>
\nAnd grant to us grace in time of need; For we know the struggles of the world And the pain that so many bear.<\/em>
\nLord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nHave mercy on us<\/em>
\nAnd grant to us grace in time of need;<\/em>
\nFor you know us and you love us<\/em>
\nAnd you reach out to us in the place where we are. Lord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nHave mercy on us<\/em>
\nAnd grant to us grace in time of need;<\/em>
\nFor you call us to love our neighbour<\/em>
\nAnd to bear one another\u2019s burdens on the way. Lord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Living God,<\/em>
\nHave mercy on us<\/em>
\nAnd grant to us grace in time of need;<\/em>
\nFor we make bold to approach the throne of grace And do so in the assurance that you will hear our cry. Lord, in your mercy,<\/em>
\nHear our prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n
