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 JANUARY 4TH 2026
At the start of this new year we are reminded of the worlds deafness to the message of peace sung by the Christmas angels. signs of conflict and threats of war rumble on with each new round of talks on the seeking of a peaceful settlement. We pray for all caught up in conflict or its preparations. We think of British service men and women facing the uncertainty of action so far from home.. Father, give strength and courage to all peacemakers that they will not be dissuaded from the difficult decisions needed to bring about an end to open conflict or acts of terrorism.
Lord we thank you that you promised the possibility of making a fresh start at any time and not just as part of some half-considered new year resolutions. Help those who have recently made important decisions in their lives to see them through. Life is full of pressures which often pull and push us in directions we would, and should, not normally take. Give us strength of purpose and faith in you to take decisions seriously, to understand the consequences for others, as well as ourselves, and, always, to seek your guidance through prayer.
Lord, as we heard about the kings and their journeys, we pray for this, our own, country with its cultural and ethnic diversity, for King Charles, our head of state, his ministers and all in authority, that they will govern wisely and with due regard for the needs of all people. We pray for all our people facing this New Year without some of the basics of life that we take so much for granted. We think of the homeless, the unemployed, the asylum seeker, the addict, the ex-prisoner. Lord Jesus who became a refugee from the oppression of Herod be with all those who find themselves marginalised from our society. Support all who work through state and voluntary agencies to relieve their hardship and restore dignity.
We pray for all families.. Each one is made up differently and faces the normal ups and downs of family life in different ways. We remember that Jesus was born, nurtured and grew up in a family which would have known all the emotions that we know in ours. We pray that each family finds a place for that selfless love, revealed to us through the life, teachings and example of our Lord.
We pray for the sick, both at home and in hospital, or hospice. We think of the elderly, the housebound and those in care homes. And we pray for all who care to their needs, both professionally and in the family. Lord Jesus who responded to the needs of all those who had faith; comfort and sustain those who are in need of your grace at this time. As we share a moment of silence together, we bring before you those known only to ourselves and name them in our hearts.
Lord, we pray for those who mourn the loss of loved ones, whether recently or some time ago. Let the knowledge of your resurrection in glory be comfort to all those who mourn.
Jesus Christ is the Light of the World, a light which no darkness can quench. We remember before God those who have died and a candle has been lit to symbolise the light of Christ which eternally shines and brings hope.
