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.

Holy God, come and breathe life.  Renew and revive your Church.  Call us, again and again, into your ways of transforming love and great mercy.  Reform us until we become more like you, for the sake of the world you came to save.  Blow away all within us that is unworthy, enliven all that brings hope and joy, and fill us again with courage and boldness to proclaim the Gospel.  Amen.

(Rev Helen Cameron, Chair of Northampton District)

We pray for the Church and its people in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, for our own Northampton District, for the Buckingham, Bicester & Brackley Circuit, and for those leading the vision+mission project.

We pray for Your guidance when we think about the use of our gifts of time, energy and money; help us to see how these precious resources shared by our Church family can be used to fulfil our vision of a Church caring for each other and our neighbours and sharing the Good News. 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.
