...adapted from day 21 of the prayer handbook….

We pray for wisdom and integrity for China’s leaders as the      Olympic games get underway this week.

For the attention given to athletes and judges, to doping and drugs, to environmental threats that confront urban and rural communities and athletes.  We pray for the glories of creation across a nation rich in diversity; for communities challenged by inequalities between wealth and poverty.  Amen
