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, Headline news shocks us with so much cruelty, tragedy, and suffering that we barely know where to begin in our praying for those in need, but you Lord know what we are trying to say. For those who do not know you, who do not know the depths of your love and care, who live with poverty of spirit and understanding, confusion and denial of you. For them all, may your Spirit speak to them and may the deeds and the words and the actions of how we live, shine with your Spirt for them. For those who know you but know they fall short of what you call them to be, give them encouragement to strive more and learn more and believe more. We pray for those who mourn, who have had their lives changed, turned upside down by the death of family friends or neighbours. In their grief may we and you be a comfort to them. A strength in times of trouble, a light to lead the way in their darkness. We pray for those who daily, no matter what the cost to themselves, speak out your words of truth, who live lives reflecting your glory, who each day step-out to help and heal and care and show your love even in face of danger. We pray for those who find it within them to forgive others who really repent, those who forgive for the good of others and society, those who show mercy and compassion. We pray for those who work for peace, who strive for peace, who yearn for peace. Those who engage at the highest levels of state seeking peace and those who stand on the battlefield praying for conflict to end and peace to be restored. For those caught in the middle, who fell helpless and hopeless in the face of war and aggression. For those peoples whose tragedies, injustice, crisis and suffering make the news headlines today. For our families, our friends, our neighbours, those we know and love and care for who need our prayers especially this day. |
