PRAYER LIST for the week beginning 15th November.
This week our readings remind us, that as we approach the end of the liturgical year, it’s good to reflect on the coming of Christ in glory. Paul reminds us in Thessalonians that since we know neither the day nor the hour of His return, we should be alert and ready.
Please pray with thanksgiving for our Church here and our clergy. Pray for all who serve God in this place and support others in need. Pray for all that we do together to worship and to encourage others into faith. Pray for our Soup and Sherry lunches, our Christmas Fair, our home group and all our other activities.
Please pray for our national Church, for our diocese and for all who lead and direct Christ’s Church in its mission everywhere. Pray for our planned “Alpha” scheme to begin in January. Pray that it will be a source of help and increased faith to those who take part. Pray that many will see it as an opportunity and want to join in. Pray for guidance as we discern God’s will for future activities here.
Please pray for peace in our world. Pray for our armed services and for the work of all who put themselves at risk in the service of others. Pray for leaders who will seek justice and the good of those in their charge. Continue to pray for our partners in South Rwenzori, still suffering from the consequences of the extreme summer heat and drought which makes growing new crops virtually impossible.
Please pray for the sick in body, mind, or spirit and especially for those known to us. Pray that even in difficult times they will sense the love that God has for all of us and find Him as a living presence in their lives. Pray for comfort for the bereaved and especially at this time of remembering.
Pray for ourselves, that as we go into the new week, we will know God’s abiding presence with us and seek to share His love with those around us.
