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 28th 2025

Lord,

It is especially hard so soon after the peace of Christmas to read in Matthew 2 of the brutal deaths of so many innocent children and to find any adequate words.

So let us take a moment of silence to remember all children who have been and continue to be victims of the violence and brutal actions of pitiless leaders, despots and warmongers.

A candle is lit and silence is kept...

May the light of their precious lives never dim, their memory never fade and may the hearts of those who mourn be comforted.

Lord,  We give you thanks that in your sight all lives are precious.

We pray for those who feel they have no value or worth, and for those who face the New Year with little hope, few resources and long-standing problems.

We pray for aid agencies around the world, struggling to cope with diminishing funds; the charities we support; and for all those in our nation and our community who support the vulnerable. We especially pray for those who will staff help lines and listen to those in crisis and those in despair over the coming days.

We pray for children who will spend this Christmas in care, or in foster homes and give thanks for those who look after them.

We pray for parents leaving their homelands and taking great risks to find a safer place for their children to grow up; for our churches as we seek to affirm the worth of every child and every adult; and to minister to those traumatised by their past experiences.

We pray for children whose dreams have been trampled on and their futures crushed by the decisions of others. May they all know they are precious in your sight and be emboldened to dream new dreams this new year.

We pray for those places in the world where violence is rife: for Ukraine, for South Africa, for Sudan, and for those recently abducted in Nigeria and their families and so many other places too that do not make the headlines.

We pray for those governments who are executing more and more people each year. We remember those in prison in Saudi Arabia, and all places where punishment is brutal and merciless.

We pray for the creatures we share our precious world with.
We pray that those leaders entrusted with making policies that can enrich or destroy landscapes and habitats that they would and must ensure that we pass on the baton of life and beauty to those who come after us.

And, as a new year approaches, we pray for one another: for those who are precious to us; those we would support; and those with no-one to pray for them. May the gifts of fulfilment, peace and joy enrich each of our lives as we prepare to step into 2026 in Jesus' name. 

Amen
