Prayer Calendar

Saturday, 21 Feb 26

We pray for the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullaly, that God would guide her and use her, and that God would send a worthy successor to Bishop Christopher to be the next Bishop of Southwark. We pray for God’s strength and wisdom for Bishop Rosemarie Mallett as she prepares to be the interim leader of the diocese.

Sunday, 22 Feb 26

Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Sunday, 22 Feb 26

We pray for ourselves this day, that we would treat Sunday as a day of worship and a day of rest. We pray also for teachers and pupils returning to school tomorrow.

Monday, 23 Feb 26

We pray for all those returning to schools ,teachers and support staff as well as students , following half term. May each and every individual be refreshed and reenergised for the rest of term leading to Easter. Especially we pray for those facing public examinations in the coming months. As we think on matters educational let us give thanks for the opportunity to learn and the broadening of minds. Around this date in 1455 the Gutenberg Bible was first printed thereby opening the prospect of much bigger numbers of individuals having their own copies and studying your Word for themselves. Today we seek your blessing Lord upon Connections Praise (2pm) and St John’s Online (8pm), those leading as well as each attendee.

Tuesday, 24 Feb 26

Today Father God let us hold up to you those mourning the death of a loved one, those in ill health or facing tests and treatment as well as those who care and support ,in whatever way ,the individuals in need. Give strength and stamina to medical professionals as they engage with an ever increasing workload, particularly so during the winter months. As some Small Groups meet today let your Spirit fill the meeting places and greater understanding of you Lord be the result. Thanks we give for the right and freedom to share views on scripture among ourselves hopefully equipping us ,in our individual ways ,to best\nimpart the good news of Jesus to family, friend and neighbour alike.

Wednesday, 25 Feb 26

Let us remember the numerous unhappy times in church history, that still continue in places today, when harmony among professing Christians was / is missing. On this day in 1570 Pope Pius V excommunicated Queen Elizabeth I (essentially) because of her Protestant faith. Lord we regret how often such events have set Christians against each other allowing the Devil to create havoc and disharmony among the children of God. Let there, if it be your will, come peace and openness between all people and genuine discourse on matters of faith so that each person is enabled to make an informed decision to accept or reject Jesus.\nLord we pray for the Women on Wednesday Group meeting (9.30 am) this morning and Watercolours on Wednesday (2pm). May you be active in each meeting as a week into Lent is reached.

Thursday, 26 Feb 26

Father God let us pray today for church leaders everywhere , that they may be fearless in preaching the truth but compassionate with those who are struggling with life’s challenges. We give thanks for volunteers who give of their time to spread the word or literally keep churches open and functioning. Today as the Christianity Explored Lunch takes place in the Hall we seek your blessings upon those who attended the course last Autumn and may today be a time for consolidation of their understanding and enthusiasm to glean more of you.
