Today on #InternationalDayWorldIndigenousPeoples  we celebrate the diversity of indigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon

We join in prayer today with those to struggle to make their voice heard.

Prayer
We see you

God of light and life,

we see you in the rising sun,

the golden fields of new daffodils,

and the feel of a spring shower.

Help us to see your light reflected throughout creation.

God of compassion,

you are there with those people

who are facing the effects of a changing climate,

and are affected by floods, droughts and famine.

Show us how to be there with them too.

God of truth and justice,

you hear those people around the world,

who struggle to make their voices heard.

Open our ears and the ears of those in power

to hear the cries of those living in poverty.

God of hope,

we see you in people who refuse to give up,

who will not lose faith and keep on fighting,

for your earth and for your people.

Lift us, so that we may never lose hope.

Amen
