Monthly Prayer

Loving God, in an age of change and uncertainty, we turn to you — our steady refuge and unshakable hope. As our nation faces challenges — in community, in economy, in the care of our world —teach us to listen with compassion, to act with justice, and to seek peace in all things. Bless those who serve in public life, those who care for others, and those whose quiet faithfulness holds families and communities together. Where there is division, sow your unity. Where there is despair, plant hope. Where hearts are weary, bring rest and renewal. Help us to be good stewards of creation, to protect the vulnerable, and to live as people shaped by grace and mercy.
 
We give thanks for the safe arrival of new babies, especially the recent addition to our congregation. We pray for all families as they adapt to these new beginnings. We also pray for families who are finding it hard, either to grow their family, or in family relationships.
 
We pray for all those known to us who are unwell, recovering, grieving or seeking your guidance.
 
We pray for our local community. May they know your love and peace in their lives. Amen.
