Prayers given on our Family Communion service on Sea Sunday.
When we approach Jesus, are we looking for the loophole, for the trick, for an excuse: or are we really open to his challenge? Are we willing to accept help – or do we think that help should look a particular way, or come from a particular professional? Are we willing to accept Jesus – on his terms?
At the end of the day, take a glass bowl and fill with water; get yourself into a calm frame of mind, perhaps with music.

We all work in different ways and engage with different mediums: if writing isn’t your thing, why not collect photos and imagery that is powerful to you? Photos of loved ones, places you’ve visited, special memories – and collect in a scrap book? You can then flick through and use these as an aide for prayer!
