Prayers

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...

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 FEBRUARY 1ST 2026

Gracious God, thank you that you call us to walk with you, living lives that reflect your justice and mercy in all we do and say. Trusting in your promise to hear us, we bring our prayers to you now.

Lord, as we read and listen to the news, we wonder at all the  accounts of greed and abuse of power, intolerance and lack of compassion, violence and war; concepts so alien to the way you have taught us and yet at times even being carried out in the name of religion. We pray for those living in fear: fear for their freedom, fear for their wellbeing, fear for their safety and even their lives. And we pray for those in a position of power or leadership, that their hearts may be filled with compassion, co-operation and wisdom.

We bring our prayers for those parts of your creation and your world that are under threat as greed, selfishness and ignorance have led us to disregard the wellbeing of the environment. We ask your blessing on those who campaign and raise awareness of the climate emergency, for those who strive to find a better way, and we pray for wisdom and determination for those who have the money, influence and authority to make a difference.

We pray for your church across the world. We pray for the people of faith in all countries who take a stand for justice and mercy, understanding and right living, as you call each one of us to do. We pray for a spirit of co-operation between different denominations and different faiths striving to do your will. We pray for our church family in this community. Strengthen and encourage us as we follow your call individually and together. Let us not become despondent or discouraged, rather fill us with your spirit of hope and peace.

We pray for those in our community who are in need. We pray for newcomers, that they will find a warm welcome and not judgement or hostility. We pray for the lonely and isolated, that they will find company and support. We pray for healing and comfort for those who are sick in mind or body or spirit and for those that love them. And we remember those who are affected by poverty, unemployment, homelessness and the rising cost of living. May they find the support and security they need.   

We pray for our school, the pupils, teachers and assistants who work so hard to give our children a great education. This week the school has a SIAMS Inspection and we pray that our Christian distinctfulness shines through both in the school and the wider community.

We pray for all who have died, remembering today the soul of Anne Barfield. We pray with her fsmily and friends as they adjust to their loss.

Finally, Lord, we bring before you our own needs and the needs of those we love, naming them before you now in a moment of silence...
