Prayer Calendar

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.

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.

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.

Friday, 27 Feb 26

As the working week (for many) enters its final day let us pray for joy in the heart of workers for a labour of love and with positivity in their hearts and with a rejection of resentment and weariness whatever the week has put their way. For those facing work into the weekend give them lightness in their tread and enthusiasm in their hearts for the endeavours they face. Let us pray for the leaders and helpers of the various youth groups that meet at St John’s tonight as well as for the youth who attend. We seek to welcome any new to the area or previously uninterested or ignorant of the church community and all it has to offer searching souls, even if they are currently unaware of the path they are taking.

Saturday, 28 Feb 26

As the shortest month comes to an end we know you are outside time and that “…a day is like a thousand years..” to you (2 Peter 3:8). We give thanks for your omnipresent presence , knowing you are everywhere waiting for us to call upon you in prayer . May your hand be on us in an often troubled society steering us forward as your children. Let those who are now putting themselves up for election , to various local councils in May, do so with selfless motives and servant hearts. We pray for receptive but discerning minds to all points of view candidates might express, with peacefulness and dignity in the electoral process.

O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word, Jesus Christ your Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
