Father God,

Being in Lockdown is hard, we were created to be with friends, not in isolation.

But, we are grateful that no matter how lonely we feel, we know that you are always with us.

We are thankful for the technology that helps us to stay in touch with others, and we thank you that Social distancing and Isolation will not last forever.

Give us strength to endure this difficult time, and fill us with your love, peace, hope and joy, because we need it!

Heal our people and our land.

Amen

Our weekly prayer – 4th May 2020

Help us to listen to your promises, to receive your assurances, to let you remove troubles from our hearts and may we always remember your constant presence with us.

We pray for those people of the world who are the victims of the Pandemic, an accident, war, violence, greed and natural disasters. We pray for Hope, Healing and Peace.

Amen.

Heavenly Father,

We praise you for Your love and faithfulness in all things.

Please fill our days with Your truth, Your love and Your Peace.

Amen.

Help us to recognise your love when we see the kindness and care of strangers.

Bless everyone with your wonderful love.

Amen.

Our weekly prayer – 13th April 2020

Risen Lord Jesus,

For many of us there is fear, doubt and uncertainty, just as there was for your disciples when you died; but then you rose again and came to them alive to offer them peace.

Thank you that your peace reaches out to us today even in life’s fiercest storms.

May we all know that we are always held in your love.

Amen

Our weekly prayer – 6th April 2020

Loving God,

We pray for the people who have contracted the coronavirus around the world. Comfort those who are grieving and give your peace to those who are worried, fearful and uncertain as the virus spreads.

We pray for governments who are developing strategies to contain and deal with the virus and those in the health services who risk their own lives to care for the sick.

Help us to be responsible in the things that we do in our lives to prevent the spread of the virus by following the recommended precautions and avoiding situations which may make things worse.

Bless everyone with your love and peace.

Amen.

Our theme for this week is Resilience.

Sometimes life can feel hard and overwhelming, we learn through life what makes us stronger and what makes us feel weaker. Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from difficulties.

Resilience is something we develop and grow throughout life.

Dear God

Please help to make us stronger when things seem difficult
Please give us peace and calm when things around us are changing
Help us to see the positives and know that we are safe and well loved
Show us how to think about others who are also going through difficult times

Thank you God

Amen

Our weekly prayer – 30th March 2020

Loving God,

Your son, Jesus, was born into the family of Mary and Joseph.

Bless all families, and especially those caring for children.

Strengthen families living under stress in these days of dealing with fear and concerns about the Coronavirus, shortage of food, school closures and isolation.

Please bless every home with your love and peace.

Amen.
