Prayer Calendar

Sunday, 14 Sep 25

Dear Lord: We thank you that all you who are weary and burdened can come to you and find rest for our souls. Help us to take your yoke and learn from you. Open our ears to your teaching and restore to us the joy of your salvation. Amen

Monday, 15 Sep 25

Lord, we come to you today… This Monday morning. For some of us, our souls weary from trying to do too much. For others, frustration in unanswered prayer… Lord, let us pause this morning and drink from the rivers of delight as we allow your Holy Spirit to wash over us afresh. To permeate our very being, and to encourage us and remind us that our ways are not your ways… Forgive us, Lord, and take us on afresh in your name. Amen

Dear Lord, we pray for our continued search for a Youth Pastor. Please provide suitable candidates for the team to choose from, and offer them Godly wisdom to discern the right one to appoint. Until that time, help those who serve with the youth, have the strength and ability to inspire and encourage our young people. Amen

Father, as we reach the middle of the week, we have been bombarded with news of assassinations in America, stabbings in Sussex and Russian drones over Poland. What is the world coming to? You gave us this '3rd rock from the sun’ and your word reminds us in Genesis 1 v 28 to ‘ Fill the earth and subdue it’.\nI don’t think you meant us to carry on the way we do. Help bring peace to our world and remind us to live in harmony together. Amen

Thursday, 18 Sep 25

Father, bring healing and comfort to all those in our Church family who are unwell, infirm or recovering. Grant them peace and strength, refresh them with your world, and bring patience to those helping them. Amen

Friday, 19 Sep 25

Lord, some days we struggle to pray. We don’t know where to start, what to say, or just don’t give any time to you. The week has rushed by once more, but even though it is Friday, and the week may not have gone well, you promise never to leave us or forsake us. So let us not give up on you, but start afresh today. Seeking, and finding forgiveness. Set our feet upon that ‘rock’ who is Jesus, once more, and build us up again to serve you. In your name, Amen

Saturday, 20 Sep 25

Life is precious; handle it with prayer. As we enjoy the weekend, let us resolve to spend more time in your presence and learn from you next week. Thank you, Father, for saving us and for giving us purpose for now and for the future. Amen
