Prayer Calendar

Tuesday, 30 Dec 25

Father God we pray today for those in war torn zones across the globe, particularly all those who are vulnerable ;whether young, old or howsoever exposed to exploitation. Let there be some relief for them and real peace to surround them and their communities if not now then very soon. Let those with authority and with genuine influence work tirelessly for the less fortunate to restore order and stability in places you ,Lord, know are unstable and dangerously volatile.

Wednesday, 31 Dec 25

As 2025 draws to a close we give thanks for another year whatever it may have been for us. All under the sun face good and bad, believers or not ,so we pray our part in 2025 was as you would wish it to be. May those engaging in seeing 2026 “in” be safe and sensible in their celebrations and give serious thought towards their positive contribution to the world in 2026, better still opening hearts to Jesus.

In 45BC the decree of Emperor Caesar Augustus brought the Julian Calendar into being . Yet Lord time is your creation not Caesar’s. All of creation comes from you as you were before time, in this moment and beyond time and we praise you for that as another year begins. If it be your will Lord let there be more humanity shown in this country and in the world than has been the case for many a year. Fresh starts may be short lived or simply illusory but let some at least begin afresh.

Friday, 02 Jan 26

Father God as some return to work we pray for all who labour ,many behind the scenes, and ensure society is able to function. In particular we pray for those who provide care for the housebound and isolated often being the only direct human contact in the day. We seek your blessing upon sometimes fraught family units that find this time of year an unwelcome challenge. Let your light shine into such gatherings and long running, deep seated, hurts be forgotten or set aside at last.

Saturday, 03 Jan 26

The first weekend of 2026 and the end of a holiday break for many with schools soon to return and businesses reopen their doors may the Lord put a spring in the step of all and banish the negative thoughts of the Evil one. Lord we pray for the churches to be filled tomorrow as more people turn to hear your Word ,many for the first time, after the Christmas message has ,for once ,been truly received by a previously sceptical or simply indifferent population. Let enlightenment and a hunger to learn more of You envelop the populous across the realm.
