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.

as they seek to live out your gospel, meeting people at their hour of need.

That they may be found by you.
Lord God, we as humans are very good at putting a ‘value’ on other people.
And we aren’t always kind. We pray for the people with whom we interact each day.

May they be found by you. And loved and cherished by us.

I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.
