We pray for those who are unwell, being cared for at home or in hospital.For those whose family, marriage or close relationships are under stress or threat of break up.Those who need to forget the God they do not believe in and meet the God who believes in them.We ask God's blessing on each person, this week and in the days to come. Amen.
In the Christian Church we are approaching the holiest time of the year. On this fifth Sunday of Lent, we turn with Jesus towards Jerusalem and the end of his earthly life: suffering, the cross, and death. But this is only part of the story. We face with Jesus suffering and death, but we face them with the promise that death is not the end. Jesus promises new life, new hope, and a love that continues.Heavenly Father, we pray that the people of Bevan Street West will experience Your unconditional love. Help them to truly grasp the depth and breadth of Your love for them. Open their eyes to see Your love, and soften their hearts to receive it fully. May Your love overwhelm them and transform their lives. Amen.
Heavenly Father, we ask that you will watch over all who live in Zanetta Court and keep them safe. Protect them from danger, both seen and unseen, and guide them away from paths of wrongdoing. May your loving arms be a shield around them, providing comfort and security. Help them cultivate a community of safety, trust and co-operation. May each person now that they are loved by you. Amen.
