Pray with us today.

Creator God, in Jesus you embrace all of our human condition. In him, you weep with us, lament with us and strive with us for a world of righteousness and justice. We grieve with communities, families and individuals in the beautiful city of London who are afflicted by violence, who mourn for those lost to its effects, and who yearn and cry out for a better future. Send your Holy Spirit afresh upon us we pray – make us channels of peace; renew in us Christ’s work of reconciliation; give us the wisdom to know what makes for healing, and to give our lives for it in his name. Inspire us to plant and to nurture your seeds of hope, that your grace might flow in abundance and all your children know the freedom which is your promise and your gift in Christ. Amen.

Jongikaya Zihle, former Chair, and Jonathan Dean, Chair, London District

Pray with us today.

Dear Lord, we come to you in prayer, seeking your guidance to help us to continue to make our churches places of welcome and acceptance. We know so many people of all ages are lonely and long to belong. We want to build church families of all ages, who worship together with joy. We need always to put prayer at the heart of all our planning and action.

Help us to sing a new song that tells of your love, by always listening and learning to become receptive to new ideas that translate into loving action in our neighbourhoods. Amen.

Eileen Simmons, Anna Chaplain and local preacher, Leigh on Sea

Pray with us today.

Lord of all creation, you have written our story with hands of grace. Every chapter filled with mercy. Every verse a melody of love. May our lives sing of your faithfulness. Let our story be a testament of your goodness and our song a sweet offering before your throne. You weave sorrow in strands of gold, turning burdens into blessings unseen. Teach us to sing through every season, to trust when the road is steep, to know that your goodness is the chorus that carries us home.

You, O Lord, are our keeper, our composer, our strength, our song. To you be all the glory, forever and ever.

Naomi Fetu, Methodist Church in Samoa

Pray with us today.

In the beginning was the Word: the Word inspires and infuses all of our words, our stories and songs. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us: God’s story of hope and life was opened for all. This becomes our story, our song: all things work together for good for those who love God. May our lives tell your story, loving God and our song be for you, today and forever.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Dan Haylett, Chair, South West Peninsula District
