A quiet, calm, prayerful attitude helps in time of trouble. Teach me to trust your unfailing love and provision, whatever the journey I take and the outcome. Amen.

Saturday, 08 Aug 26

Keep me regular and faithful in prayer for others as well as myself, bringing to mind the many I know who need my prayers. Help me to rely on you, Heavenly Father, to lead and direct me. Amen.

Let us give thanks for those continuing to labour away, employed or as volunteers ,while others enjoy their summer holidays. Especially hold up for God’s blessings all in the now large number of essential services that enable life to function as most of us have grown accustomed to; medical, energy, food supply, transportation and the like. May those on holiday be refreshed and energised in safe and joyful environments ready to return home and to work. As Connections Holy Communion takes place in church at 2pm let us thank God for his unwavering and constant presence night and day, week upon week ;the same today, yesterday and tomorrow and for the ultimate sacrifice His Son paid for us all.

Lord we acknowledge how fickle us humans can be and pray for each and everyone of us to strive to be that little bit more like Jesus. May we spend more -and truly constructive-time studying and learning your Word and observing others who set us a positive example of Christ like behaviour. On this day in 1934 the notorious US prison of Alcatraz opened in San Francisco Bay holding many of the most violent and dangerous offenders then living in the USA yet ,let us remember, you Lord knew each one and Your Way was available ,even to those rejected by society as unforgivable outcastes, if only they called upon you. Thank you for continuing to provide that hope of true freedom of spirit to all in society.

Your wonderful creation surrounds us, let us prayerfully thank you for it and not take the wonders -small, often too small for the human eye to see, and vast beyond measure- for granted. A partial sola eclipse takes place today ( 6.17pm-8.10pm) giving us an opportunity to witness and marvel at your domain beyond this planet and acknowledge ,in grateful prayer ,your supreme power over literally all things.

Today we pray for the thousands of young people, some within our church community, who receive their “A” (Advanced) level results from examinations earlier this summer. Careers and immediate future hopes and aspirations depend on the results. Therefore Father, if it be your will, let those opening an email be joyful and filled with positivity. For those disappointed , even distraught, with less than hoped for news be aware of your presence in their time of solace. We pray for parents, siblings, family members and teachers all of whom share in good or not so good news at this time and give them a calmness only your spirit can bestow to ensure the young students keep a true perspective on their lives.

Let us remember and seek the Lord’s hand upon those suffering serious illness and for those who care for them. Likewise we pray for the bereaved ,particularly if some feel even more downcast as the majority embrace fine weather and a holiday mood. We give thanks for the provision of medical facilities , often under great pressure, as they continue to provide assistance 24/7. Father we pray for scientific progress in curing diseases that blight ,even extinguish ,lives across the globe. Thank you Father for the ability of some to understand the science involved in developing treatments that relieve suffering ,perhaps afford a complete cure , for diseases that have plagued society, often for centuries. May, we pray, scientists with these skills only use their expertise for the common good. Similarly we pray that pharmaceutical companies fund wide ranging research not simply those projects based primarily on reaping huge profits.
