PRAYER LIST for the week beginning 1st November
This week begins with our services for All Saints and All Souls, a time for both looking back and looking forward, for remembering loved ones who we continue to miss and for giving thanks for lives which have inspired us. Psalm 34 says “Bless the Lord at all times, look to Him and be radiant, those who seek the Lord lack no good thing”.
Please pray with thanksgiving for all who have gone before us and have taught and inspired us, bringing us to faith. Pray for the ongoing mission and purpose of the Church, both here and everywhere. Pray for senior clergy and for all with responsibilities in Christ’s Church that they will be upheld and supported by the Holy Spirit. Pray that their lives will be examples to all of us and through them will come to know Our Lord.
Please pray for our community here. Pray that we will all be quick to forgive and slow to condemn in our dealings with with one another. Pray that Christ will help us to be part of showing His love for all people here. Pray for the ideas and plans that we are trying to formulate in this Church; to develop and deepen our own discipleship and to extend our services to children, families and all who live here.
Please continue to pray for peace in the world and for all places where there is conflict and instability. Pray for aid to reach the needy and for protection for those who face danger to help others. Pray for our peacekeeping forces and for the families who fear for them. Pray that compassion will move the hearts of the powerful and bring an end to needless suffering.
Please pray for all who mourn and who bear the burdens of bereavement and anxiety. Pray that they will be comforted and feel supported in their grief. Pray that Christ will bring them to healing and hope.
Please pray with thankfulness for those who have helped us in times of need and for all who have pointed us towards Christ’s kingdom.
