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 DECEMBER 21st 2025

Lord, at this time of year when we think especially of those close to us, we pray for those who are a long way from the country of their birth and from those they love.

Joining with the UN on International Migrants Day, we remember those denied dignity and safety and those who are exploited and abused. We pray for fairer, clearer and more inclusive migration systems.

We pray for our divided world, that the feelings of tolerance would ring out more loudly than the bullets of hatred. 

We pray especially for the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting: for the injured, the grieving and for the whole community impacted so terribly.

We pray for all those who are victims of violence and especially young people who have lost their lives to gun and knife crimes.

We pray for juveniles convicted  of violent crimes, for mentors to guide them and for role models to inspire the

We pray for our NHS: For all those struggling to care for the volume of patients entrusted to them; for those hospitalised with flu and life-threatening illnesses; and for all those afraid that their treatment will be impacted or their appointments cancelled by the Resident Doctors' strike.

We pray for those who will be working over Christmas, and those on call.

We pray for King Charles and all those whose journey through illness is very public and for those who face their journey alone. We pray for those who know this will be their last Christmas; those who fear that it might be; and those who are celebrating their first Christmas with someone they love.

We pray for those expecting a child this Christmas time; for those whose children have died; for those who have suffered miscarriages; and for those for whom parenthood hasn't been possible.

We pray for our churches as they both sing out the joy of Christmas and sit quietly with those whose hearts are heavy and whose lives are broken.

Come Lord Jesus. Be with those who are celebrating and those who are mourning.
Bring hope, peace, courage and comfort to all.

And on this shortest day of the year we pray for one another and for the light of Christ to shine brightly in our hearts. We pray for our families, our friends, and our communities. May these last days before Christmas bring opportunities to heal broken relationships; reflect on our journey of faith amidst the tyranny of undone tasks; and give and receive God's precious gift of love.

In Jesus' name,

Amen
