Prayer for the Day
A prayer of waiting upon God
Out of the depths, O God, we wait for your wisdom. Out of the silence, O God, we listen for your voice. Out of the heavens, O God, we wait for your gifts.

Dduw cyfiawnder,
agor ein clustiau er mwyn i ni glywed fel yr wyt ti’n clywed,
agor ein calonnau er mwyn i ni ofalu fel yr wyt ti’n gofalu,
agor ein gwefusau er mwyn i siarad fel yr wyt ti’n siarad,
er mwyn i ni gynnig ein lleisiau
ar ran y rhai sydd wedi cael eu distewi,
beth bynnag eu hiaith, gwlad neu gyflwr,
ac felly gwneler dy ewyllys,
megis yn y nef felly ar y ddaear hefyd. Amen.
God of justice,
open our ears to hear as you do,
open our hearts to care as you do,
open our lips to speak as you do,
that we may offer our voices
for those who are silenced,
whatever their language, land or lot,
and so may your will be done,
on earth as in heaven. Amen.

"That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were sick. This was to fulfil what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah, 'He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.'" (v.16-17)
