Prayers

We believe prayers can make a difference.  

If you would like us to pray for you please get in touch or come to one of our services.  If you visit the church during the day there are also prayer request cards that you can complete and leave in a confidential prayer box at the back of the church.

The church is open during the day and is a place of peace and quiet if you would prefer to pray alone.

We are very conscious of the troubled times in which we live, and offer you the opportunity to join with us in two prayers:

A Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today.

We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.

We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.

We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.

Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them.

We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Amen.

A Prayer for Israel. Gaza and Lebanon

Heavenly Father, we pray for the many people whose lives have been torn apart by conflict in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon.

We pray especially those who have died, those who are grieving, the injured and those now without food, shelter or medical supplies.

Strengthen and support the work of all relief organisations.

We pray also for those who have the power to bring peace. May they be touched by a spirit of compassion and kindness.

Lord hear us as we pray in the power of your Spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
