Prayer from the Occupational Cycle;-

"Prayer"

Living God,
we thank you for ministers and priests, church community workers and church leaders.
Give them strength, courage and integrity,
and help them laugh.

"Prayer"

God who shares our humanity in Christ,
we pray for prostitutes, male and female.
How is it
that such a gift should be traded?
Whatever brings people to this occupation,
desperation, a mother's desire to provide for her children,
addiction, the threat of violence,
or a free and knowing choice,
whatever it is that brings them here,
we pray for your blessing for them.
We pray for healing from disease,
safety from violent punters,
freedom from harassment,
dignity and hope.
May they be eternally
within your love.
