Prayer Diary
Please continue to pray one extra prayer each day.
22nd February We add our prayer to those praying for all people suffering with Covid-19 and for the people caring for them.
23rd February We pray for the families of COVID-19 victims, for their grief, for their despair, comfort them and meet them at their point of greatest need.
24th February We pray for the government at this time, for the decisions that they make on our behalf.
25th February We pray for all people suffering with mental health problems, from being shut in, to more serious cases. For everyone finding this lockdown harder that before.
26th February We pray for the vaccination programme. For its continued roll out and the promise of a return to a more settled way of life that it offers.
27th February We know, Lord, that you are with us in all situations and we are safe in your loving care, even when we pass beyond the veil. We thank you for your love and care that passes our understanding but is so comforting at this time.
Promises from God.
You will find freedom wherever My Spirit dwells. 2 Corinthians 3:17
You can know and depend on the love that I have for you. 1 John 4:16
You can trust in Me for I will never forsake you. Psalm 9:10
Almighty and everlasting God,
Creator of all things.
As we venture out into your universe
Guide us not to destroy the beauty of your silence,
But to respect what we find,
And pay reverence to what we fail to understand.
May our seeking lead us to accept,
That which we cannot know,
Is also a part of your great design,
To attract us,
To draw us
Ever closer to you.
