Lord, we ask you to bring peace to our troubled world. We pray for and end to war and violence wherever it may be. We ask you to bring peace to Gaza and for
aid and support to reach those in desperate need.
We pray for all aid workers, protect them and comfort them with your Holy Spirit. We pray for Ukraine, and for everyone that has had to leave their homes due to the
war with Russia.
Thank you for all the wonderful and amazing beauty in your creation. Help us to protect it better, ensuring it is looked after for generations to
come.
We pray for all young people and staff returning to education settings. May they enter this new term with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to their
ongoing studies. Help schools, colleges and universities to be a place of safety and community for all.
For young people who are considering their next steps, be that education, training or work, may they trust in you at this time and may your love give them strength,
guidance and confidence.
We pray for those that are sick and ask you to help them get better. Be with them in moments of pain and uncertainty and bless the hands that care for
them.
