Prayer from the Occupational Cycle;-

"Prayer"

God our Creator,
We pray for people who work on the machines that make things,
Things we all need, want and use.
We remember their fear that one day
The machines won't need them,
For the number of people in this work is already dwindling:
And we ask you to take away their fear
And give them a new hope.
We pray for them as their working lives are taken up
With the needs of the machine,
"Is the line 'blocked' or 'starved'?"
God help us all to know that with you
We are not blocked and we are not starved.
