Prayers

Prayers for our community and those in need

Loving God, You are always more ready to hear than we are to pray and give more than either we desire or deserve. We bring these prayers confident of the justice of Your answers.

We pray for those in our Church family who are experiencing ill health, anxiety, problems at school or work, or difficult family situations - we ask that they know your love, comfort and strength, and that we their neighbours will know how to be the body of Christ for them.

Help us to be open to signs of grace and hope. May we be part of the transformation of your world. Through hospitable spaces and gentle welcomes; through safe places and noisy protests; through loving others as you have loved us, may your kingdom come and your will be done.

Help us to face the future with courage and assurance, knowing that nothing can ever part us from Your love.  Lord Jesus we offer these prayers in Your name.  AMEN
