Dr. Dyfed Wyn Roberts, Media and Communication Officer for Christian Aid Wales has contributed these prayers for Christian Aid Week. The picture is of Janet from Zimbabwe, who is featured in the Christian Aid film for the week. Janet received drought resistant seeds to help her feed her family.
With the climate emergency continuing to cause havoc around the world, Christian Aid Week this years is focusing on the effects of drought in Zimbabwe. Though the whole world experiences the effects of a changing climate, it is the poorest who suffer the most. You can support Christian Aid Week by going to our website:
Here is a prayer for you to use during the week.
Lord,
As the climate emergency
continues to wreck lives,
we thank you
for drought resistant seeds;
small but hardy,
small but hope-filled,
small but life-giving.
This Christian Aid Week,
I plant my own seeds
of time, effort and giving.
With your blessing
may they flourish.
Amen.
