Prayers

Take a moment to listen to the still small voice of God within the bustle of the day which has begun. Find a quiet place where you can enjoy precious moments of peace in God's presence. Sit quietly and listen to the sounds of the world around you, both outside and in the place where you are. Breathe slowly and rest in God's presence...

Prayers for this week

Take a moment to listen to the still small voice of God within the bustle of the day which has begun. Find a quiet place where you can enjoy precious moments of peace in God's presence. Sit quietly and listen to the sounds of the world around you, both outside and in the place where you are. Breathe slowly and rest in God's presence......

Know that as you journey through this day, that you have a helper, a source of strength and comfort, the reassurance that we are never further from God than a whisper.

 

 

Prayers for this week

Lord, you have led us through the ups and downs of the year that is past. Today, you call us onwards to new adventures of faith.
Help us to trust your voice and to follow where you lead us.

Lord, as a new year begins, we pray for the ability to pay attention to the signs of your presence all around us. We pray for all who have lost their way
for the doubters, the dispossessed and the distressed, and ask that you would shine your light into their lives.

As a new year begins, we ask for fresh vision amongst our political leaders; for the light of wisdom, kindness, truth and grace to shape debate; for the will to build a more just society where resources are shared and for the determination to make sure that no one goes hungry.

Lord, you lead us to the edge of the river Jordan to hear again the sound of your voice and to see the Spirit descending. Speak to us again of a world made new and show us the part you want us to play in building your kingdom where we are.

We pray for all who are exploring a call to lay and ordained ministry, and for ourselves that we would be ready to serve you in new ways. Fill us again with your Spirit:  may our prayer find expression in our actions and choices, and may we bring your light to a world walking in darkness.

Lord,  may the light of your healing wrap around us and bring us new life. We ask you to be with all who wait at the bedside of the sick and the dying
and we pray especially for people who are experiencing any kind of suffering in mind or body. Today we offer to God today our prayers for those we know who are ill: May they know your care and your love.

Lord, we give thanks for the love we receive from friends and family and pray for all who tonight will weep alone. Make our communities into spaces where love grows; where we challenge each other to live into our baptismal calling and learn to become the people you want us to be.

May the lost find a place to belong with us; may the hungry be fed; may hope be rekindled and our vision expanded  so that your light will shine into our homes and our neighbourhoods.

Lord, though the way ahead may be dark and the cost may be high; give us courage to speak up for those in need; to use what we have to serve others and to sing of your goodness when hope seems lost. We pray for all areas of the world living under the shadow of death and conflict:
remembering especially all children who suffer in adult wars. In the stillness of our hearts let us name to God the parts of the world in desperate need today. Bring light into the war-torn places in our world and may our communities be beacons of hope in a troubled world.
