Prayer Diary
Please continue to pray one extra prayer each day.
Monday Heavenly Father, we pray for our brothers and sisters in Nepal. We pray you turn the eyes of the world to their plight.
Tuesday Jesus our Lord, when you lived a human life, you cared for the poor and the sick. We ask you to show you healing hand once more for Nepal where health care is basic at best.
Wednesday Holy Spirit,guide those in positions of power and authority, to be generous to the poor and needy of the world. To remember Nepal and similar countries who are overwhelmed by the pandemic.
Thursday Lord Jesus Christ, help us to see that all life is precious to you. And that diversity leads to a stronger and more united world.
Friday We pray for those we live with and among, that you will work in us and them to love each other better and to show our care to the stranger in our midst.
Saturday Jesus, you have always remembered us now that you are in your kingdom. We pray that in the light of all that is good, all that is holy, all that is just, your Kingdom come. Amen.
Promises from God.
My love will never fail you. 1 Corinthians 13:8
My Word will brighten your steps and light your path. Psalm 119:105
My face will shine upon you all the days of your life. Numbers 6:25
O God of love, we pray thee to give us love:
Love in our thinking, love in our speaking,
Love in our doing, and love in the hidden places of our souls;
Love of our neighbours near and far;
Love of our friends, old and new;
Love of those with whom we find it hard to bear,
And love of those who find it hard to bear with us;
Love of those with whom we work,
And love of those with whom we take our ease;
Love in Joy, love in sorrow;
Love in life and love in death;
That so at length we may be worthy to dwell with thee,
Who art eternal love.
William Temple 1881-1944
