Prayer Calendar

Saturday, 12 Jul 25

‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.’ Matt 5:8. God of the pure of heart, please would we as a church family be those who pursue purity in all areas of our lives, being always willing to invite your inspection of all we do. Thank you that your people will one day see your face (Rev 22:4).

Dear Lord: May the message of the Bible be faithfully proclaimed at St John’s this weekend. May your people be encouraged as they sing and pray to you. May the Holy Spirit be at work in all ages of our church family. And may Jesus your Son be glorified in all we do. Stir up our hearts to put our faith in you and may the truths of your Word bring real joy and peace and hope to people’s lives. Amen.

Dear Lord, we pray for the team heading for Uganda, Mark & Bethany Francis and Thomas Poole. We thank you for the financial support that Thomas has received from his recent cake sales and walking events, we pray for wisdom that the money will be used wisely. We ask for safety, good travel arrangements, health and protection as they travel around the different locations. We ask all this in Jesus' name.

Tuesday, 15 Jul 25

Lord, we continue to pray for our youth with many tackling exams currently. Help them by bringing peace to their hearts, recall of knowledge, and the ability to communicate this as they tackle each exam paper. May they all be marked fairly and consistently by the examining boards. In Jesus’ name.

Wednesday, 16 Jul 25

Dear Lord, we ask that you would bring the right person to St John’s to lead the youth ministries in the coming years. Lord, you know the person you have in mind, help us recognise this when opportunity presents itself. We pray for rest for the current team as the summer break approaches, we ask for wisdom, inspiration, and energy to accommodate future changes in the autumn. Amen

Thursday, 17 Jul 25

Lord, we are mindful of the hot weather affecting folk in different ways, may we be aware of those around us who find it difficult to cope with the heat. May we all be ‘good neighbours’ to those around us. Amen

Friday, 18 Jul 25

Father, we continue to pray for peace around the world. The very utterance of these words on the face of it seems too much to ask and yet, as we reflect on the words from Mark’s gospel “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith” Mark 4 v 40.\nAgain, in the book of Hebrews “Now faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see” Hebrews 11 v 1.\nSo, as we meditate on these words, let us renew our resolve and pray earnestly for peace, in the middle east and Ukraine. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
